Just listened to an interesting online talk (facebook.com/photo?fbid=122681) about the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) #Balloon Facility (tifr.res.in/bf/) - here are the slides about astronomical observations they do; see also arxiv.org/abs/2112.04877 for a 2021 review paper about this work and the mentioned papers aanda.org/articles/aa/full_htm ("Large-scale mapping of the massive star-forming region RCW38 in the [CII] and PAH emission") and aanda.org/articles/aa/full_htm ("[CII] emission properties of the massive star-forming region RCW 36 in a filamentary molecular cloud").
