The role of magnetic fields in setting the star formation rate and the initial mass function
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 …

Star cluster formation and feedback
Stars do not generally form in isolation. Instead, they form in clusters, and in these clustered
environments, newborn stars can have profound effects on one another and on their parent …
