Abstract：

The formation of stars at low metallicities is a central problem in galaxy formation and evolution, i.e., to understand the properties of the high redshift universe. However, studies of the detailed star formation process in low metallicity environments have been limited due to large distances and the corresponding difficulty in characterizing low-mass sources. Here I will review some recent observational progress and present a multi-wavelength campaign that employs the synergy of ALMA and JWST to characterize star formation processes of Sh2-284, a low metallicity protocluster in the outer Galaxy.

CV：

Cheng Yu received his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 2021 and previously worked as an ALMA project fellow at National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ). He is currently an EACOA fellow at NAOJ, and his research primarily focuses on the observational study of star clusters and massive star formation.
