Recent studies of the nearest star-forming clouds of the Galaxy at submillimeter wavelengths
with the Herschel Space Observatory have provided us with unprecedented images of the …

▪ Abstract Stellar clusters are born embedded within giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and
during their formation and early evolution are often only visible at infrared wavelengths …

We analyse the first giant molecular cloud (GMC) simulation to follow the formation of
individual stars and their feedback from jets, radiation, winds, and supernovae, using the …

We present a unified description of the scenario of global hierarchical collapse (GHC). GHC
constitutes a flow regime of (non-homologous) collapses within collapses, in which all …

A universal initial mass function (IMF) is not intuitive, but so far no convincing evidence for a
variable IMF exists. The detection of systematic variations of the IMF with star-forming …

ABSTRACT We present STARFORGE (STAR FORmation in Gaseous Environments): a new
numerical framework for 3D radiation magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of star …

Understanding the formation of stars in galaxies is central to much of modern astrophysics.
However, a quantitative prediction of the star formation rate and the initial distribution of …

Star formation lies at the center of a web of processes that drive cosmic evolution:
generation of radiant energy, synthesis of elements, formation of planets, and development …

Star clusters form in dense, hierarchically collapsing gas clouds. Bulk kinetic energy is
transformed to turbulence with stars forming from cores fed by filaments. In the most compact …

We report the statistical properties of stars, brown dwarfs and multiple systems obtained from
the largest radiation hydrodynamical simulation of star cluster formation to date that resolves …
