Abstract: 

Under modern observations from multiple wavelengths, a complete picture of interstellar medium ISM evolution and star formation is emerging. Observations The Gala satellite maps the distributions and kinematics of stars, which, in many cases, is the missing piece of the puzzle. We combine multi-wavelength observations to establish a comprehensive picture of ISM evolution, to reveal the key physics at work.
