AbstractWe report the preliminary results of the study on the infrared properties of ultracompact (UC) H II regions in our Galaxy and in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) based on the GLIMPSE (the Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire) and SAGE (Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution) data, respectively. We found that ~60% of the Galactic UC H II regions do not have IR counterparts. Large extinction and very strong stellar winds evacuating H II regions from dust may explain this result. The same effect is observed in the LMC. One of the goals of this research is to develop a means of identifying UC H IIs based on their mid-IR properties, e.g. positions on color-color and color-magnitude plots and/or shape of spectral energy distributions. GLIMPSE showed that bow shocks, protostellar jets/outflows, and bubbles are common phenomena in massive star formation regions (MSFRs).

Initial Results

AbstractWe present initial results of a new campaign of simulations focusing on the interaction of planetary winds with stellar environments using Adaptive Mesh Refinement methods. We have confirmed the results of Stone & Proga (2009) that an azimuthal flow structure is created in the planetary wind due to day/night temperatures differences. We show that a backflow towards the planet will occur with a strength that depends on the escape parameter. When a stellar outflow is included, we see unstable bow waves forming through the outflow's interaction with the planetary wind.
