I examined the brightest sources within the BGPS, discovering 18 with masses
$M>10^4$ \msun, large enough to form bound clusters. These sources are all
actively star-forming and can now be used for unbiased proto-cluster population
studies.
These observations allow us to place an upper limit on the starless
lifetimes of young massive clusters $\tau_{starless} < 0.6$ Myr.
I performed follow-up studies with \formaldehyde observations from the Green
Bank Telescope and Arecibo Observatory.
With these observations, I measured
the density of infalling gas around \uchii regions and of turbulent gas in
non-star-forming clouds. I also measured the free-free contamination fraction
of BGPS sources, determining that among the brightest, the free-free contribution
to the 1.1 mm flux should be significant and perhaps even dominant.
My study of the W5 region revealed more than 50 new molecular outflows,
highlighting the star-forming sections of the cloud and distinguishing the old
from new generations. In this cloud, the strong feedback from the
bubble-blowing OB stars drives the turbulence, not outflows from young stars.

sources in the Galactic plane. It also turns out to be the nearest proto-massive cluster
at a VLBI-parallax-measured distance of 5.1 kpc (see Chapter \ref{ch:ympc} for a discussion
of massive proto-clusters). The simple reduction of this data is nearly complete, but
analysis has
not yet only begun.
In the outer galaxy, we targeted two regions: the Sh 255 complex in Gem OB1 and
the Sh 233-IR/IRAS 05358 complex I studied for my Comps II project. We made
small ($\sim 5\arcmin\times 5\arcmin$) maps of these objects in order to
evaluate the density profiles and determine what systematic biases may have
been present in our single-pointing observations. These outer galaxy sources
are both at $D<2$ kpc, so our resolution is $\lesssim 0.5
pc$ $pc and we therefore
have some marginal hope of discovering dense cores without diluting their
signal too badly.

%FIGURE: mcmc column vs density
I successfully made density maps of the W51 cloud, though because the velocity
structure is quite complicated,
I need it was necessary to fit two components to most of the
map. Two-component fits are never particularly stable, so it was necessary to
restrict the parameters being fitted, and even then the results aren't
perfectly reliable. Despite those caveats, there are some reliable fits,
particularly towards the `core' of W51 Main / W51 IRS 2. There are two
high-density components with
$n\sim10^5-10^5.5$ $n\sim10^5-10^{5.5}$ \percc at different velocities evident
in Figure \ref{fig:w51h2cofits}. The southern component, centered on W51 Main,
has $v_{LSR}\sim56-59$. The northern component, a strip going through IRS 2
and towards the west, peaks around
$v_{LSR}\sim68-69$. $v_{LSR}\sim68-69$ \kms. A 10 \kms difference
between two extremely dense components, both which are necessarily in the
foreground of the HII region, is shocking (probably, anyway, unless the sound
speed is very high).
