Here we describe the Red MSX Source (RMS) survey which is the largest, systematic, galaxy-wide search for massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) yet undertaken. Mid-IR bright point sources from the MSX satellite survey have been followed-up with ground-based radio, millimetre, and infrared observations to identify the contaminating sources and characterise the MYSOs and UCHII regions. With the initial classification now complete the distribution of sources in the galaxy will be discussed, as well as some programmes being developed to exploit our sample.

  1. A New Cloud-Cloud Collision Source N68 toward the G35 Molecular Cloud Complex

    astro-ph.GA 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    N68 is a new cloud-cloud collision site in the G35 complex where two molecular clouds are colliding, triggering massive star formation alongside collect-and-collapse and radiation-driven implosion processes.
