    Assessing the accuracy of star formation rate measurements by direct star count in molecular clouds
    Star formation estimates based on the counting of young stellar objects (YSOs) are commonly carried out for nearby star-forming regions in the Galaxy, and in...

    Assessing the Stellar Population and the Environment of an H II Region on the Far Side of the Galaxy
    We have investigated the stellar and interstellar content of the distant star formation region IRAS 17591-2228 (WISE H II region GAL 007.47+0.06). It is...
