We present GANDALF, a new hybrid SPH and N-body code for combined star formation, planet formation and star cluster studies. GANDALF is written in C++ to perform the main hydrodynamic and gravitational computations. GANDALF also includes a python library to allow interactive simulations and visualisation. Initial conditions can also be generated inside python allowing simple control of setting...

We present high-resolution Submillimeter Array (SMA) 1.3 and 0.88 mm broad band observations, and Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) observations in NH3 (J,K) = (1,1) up to (5,5), as well as H2O and CH3OH maser lines toward the two most massive and dense molecular clumps (>~10^3 Msun within <1pc) in the filamentary IR-dark cloud (IRDC) G11.11-0.12, also known as the "Snake" nebula. The sensitive...
