We review current understanding of star formation, outlining an overall theoretical framework
and the observations that motivate it. A conception of star formation has emerged in which …

We present an overview of the Large Program," Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks
(eDisk)," conducted with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The …

▪ Abstract The physical conditions in molecular clouds control the nature and rate of star
formation, with consequences for planet formation and galaxy evolution. The focus of this …

Abstract We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of
the Class I source Oph IRS 63 in the context of the Early Planet Formation in Embedded …

Our current understanding of the physical processes of star formation is reviewed, with
emphasis on processes occurring in molecular clouds like those observed nearby. The …

We present a one-dimensional model of the formation and viscous evolution of
protoplanetary disks. The formation of the early disk is modeled as the result of the …

We present ALMA 1.3 mm continuum, 12 CO, C 18 O, and SO data for the Class 0 protostars
Lupus 3 MMS, IRAS 15398− 3559, and IRAS 16253− 2429 at resolutions of∼ 100 au. By …

Millimeter wavelength observations are presented of NGC 1333 IRAS 4, a group of highly
embedded young stellar objects in Perseus, that reveal motions of infall, outflow, rotation …

We have observed the Class I protostar TMC-1A with the Atacama Millimeter/submillimeter
Array (ALMA) in the emissions of 12 CO and C 18 O (J= 2–1) and 1.3 mm dust continuum …

Context. The fragmentation mode of high-mass molecular clumps and the accretion
processes that form the most massive stars (M≳ 8 M⊙) are still not well understood. A …
