“Less-than-Super” Shells
Super Shells (>>10 pc diameter) produced by SN(e), GRBsDrive ISM turbulence on large scales Trigger molecular cloud formation (and subsequent
star formation)?
“Less-than-Super” Shells (<10 pc diameter) from stellar winds/HII RegionsTrigger star formation in extant molecular clouds?Help Marijke et al. create the added structures?

Questions we can address:
Which matters “most” inside what kind of molecular clouds: babys (YSOs), adults (O & B star winds), or ghosts (SNe)?
What is the “expected” combination of these in a given region? (Spitzer key for this)
How can we tell a wimpy SNR from a stellar wind? (X-rays (& You-Hua) key)
