Star-forming gas clouds are strongly magnetized, and their ionization fractions are high
enough to place them close to the regime of ideal magnetohydrodyamics on all but the …

We review the present theoretical and numerical understanding of magnetic field
amplification in cosmic large-scale structure, on length scales of galaxy clusters and beyond …

One of the key mysteries of star formation is the origin of the stellar initial mass function
(IMF). The IMF is observed to be nearly universal in the Milky Way and its satellites, and …

The role of turbulence and magnetic fields is studied for star formation in molecular clouds.
We derive and compare six theoretical models for the star formation rate (SFR)—the …

Understanding the physics of turbulence is crucial for many applications, including weather,
industry and astrophysics. In the interstellar medium,, supersonic turbulence plays a crucial …

In recent years, the discovery of massive quasars at has provided a striking challenge to our
understanding of the origin and growth of supermassive black holes in the early Universe …

We introduce TIGRESS, a novel framework for multi-physics numerical simulations of the
star-forming interstellar medium (ISM) implemented in the Athena MHD code. The …

We study the star formation efficiency (SFE) in simulations and observations of turbulent,
magnetized, molecular clouds. We find that the probability density functions (PDFs) of the …

Compressible turbulence shapes the structure of the interstellar medium of our Galaxy and
likely plays an important role also during structure formation in the early Universe. The …

Star formation is primarily controlled by the interplay between gravity, turbulence, and
magnetic fields. However, the turbulence and magnetic fields in molecular clouds near the …
