Dispersal of molecular clouds by ionizing radiation (2012, background): “Infrared shells and bubbles (Churchwell et al. 2006; Churchwell 2008) are ubiquitous in the Galaxy and are often associated with Hii regions, i.e. localised regions in which the Lyman continuum radiation (Eγ > 13.6 eV) from one or more young, massive stars ionises the gas and heats it to TI ∼ 10 4…”
A CLASS I AND CLASS II CH3OH MASER SURVEY OF EGOs FROM THE GLIMPSE SURVEY (2009, background): “This EGO is located in an IRDC on the rim of a MIR " wind-blown bubble " (Churchwell et al. 2006), near two other young sources, and may represent an example of triggered star formation (Watson et al. 2008).”
FOREST Unbiased Galactic plane Imaging survey with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope (FUGIN) I: Project Overview and Initial Results (2017, neutral): “We can resolve, for example, 1 pc scale dense clumps in the main Galactic structures (arms and the bar structure) within the distance of ∼ 10 kpc and Spitzer bubbles (Churchwell et al. 2006) smaller than 1′ which are the site of massive star and cluster formation.”
The Bubbling Galactic Disk. II. The Inner 20° (2007, methodology): “A very incomplete catalog of over 320 dust bubbles (Churchwell et al. 2006, hereafter Paper I) has been assembled from the GLIMPSE I (hereafterGI) survey (jlj¼ 10 Y65 ; jbj 1 ; fully sampled twice at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 mwith resolutions from 1.500 to 1.900 ).”
The second data release of the INT Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS DR2) (2014, background): “…in the catalogue of Churchwell et al. (2006), and could be a possible site of triggered star formation (Kendrew et al. 2012; Thompson et al. 2012). observed at the interface between neutral regions of interstellar material and the ionizing radiation from early-type stars (Churchwell et al. 2006).”
The Milky Way Project First Data Release: a bubblier Galactic disc (2012, background): “Citizen scientists have independently rediscovered the locations of 86% of the Churchwell et al. (2006) and Churchwell et al. (2007) bubble catalogues and 96% of the Anderson et al. (2011) H ii region catalogue, whilst finding an order of magnitude more objects.”
A gallery of bubbles. The nature of the bubbles observed by Spitzer and what ATLASGAL tells us about the surrounding neutral material (2010, background): “The Spitzer-GLIMPSE images at 8.0 μm (Benjamin et al. 2003) have revealed a “bubbling Galactic disk” (Churchwell et al. 2006; hereafter CH06).”
THE “NESSIE” NEBULA: CLUSTER FORMATION IN A FILAMENTARY INFRARED DARK CLOUD (2009, background): “When an embedded O or an early B protostar eventually reaches the main sequence, it ionizes the surrounding gas and creates a bubble in the interstellar medium (Churchwell et al. 2006).”
Modeling the Pan-Spectral Energy Distribution of Starburst Galaxies. IV. The Controlling Parameters of the Starburst SED (2007, background): “…observational evidence that PAHs are destroyed within the ionized parts of the H ii region complexes, with Spitzer observations of galactic H ii regions showing clear boundaries between the outer PDR PAH emitting zone and the inner photoionized zone (eg Churchwell et al. 2006; Povich et al. 2007).”
A Multiwavelength Study of M17: The Spectral Energy Distribution and PAH Emission Morphology of a Massive Star Formation Region (2007, background): “…the class of interstellar bubbles associated with massive star formation regions cataloged in the Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) by Churchwell et al. (2006), although M17 was not selected for the GLIMPSE bubbles catalog due to its peculiar, V-shaped morphology.”
Toward Understanding Massive Star Formation (2007, background): “Recent Spitzer/IRAC Galactic plane observations (Churchwell et al. 2006) have revealed dozens of parsec-sized bubbles, formed by hot young stars in massive star forming regions.”
THE GREEN BANK TELESCOPE H ii REGION DISCOVERY SURVEY. II. THE SOURCE CATALOG (2011, methodology): “We detected RRLs from the ionized gas in 65 GLIMPSE “bubble” sources cataloged by Churchwell et al. (2006, 2007).”
Clustered and Triggered Star Formation in W5: Observations with Spitzer (2008, result): “Seen in numerous massive star forming regions by Churchwell et al. (2006), Smith & Brooks (2007) and recently Harvey et al. (2008), this additional component of diffuse emission is consistent with the picture of Crété et al. (1999) whereby emission within H ii regions at mid-IR wavelengths is…”
