Simulations of the Aquila Rift show uneven clumps accreting gas and merging along filaments to form a fractal cluster whose velocity anisotropies, rotation, and expansion record the assembly history even after gas removal.
Synthetic Herschel observations from simulations yield 8832 filaments hosting 94% of clumps, with power-law mass and length distributions and a density relation qualitatively matching the Hi-GAL survey.
Observational study of G12.79+0.43 identifies YSOs and HII regions powered by B-type stars and associates the complex with the rim of a molecular superbubble of diameter ~50 pc and expansion age ~0.3 Myr without establishing causality.
