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 …

A universal, local star formation law in galactic clouds, nearby galaxies, high-redshift disks, and starbursts
Star formation laws are rules that relate the rate of star formation in a particular region, either
an entire galaxy or some portion of it, to the properties of the gas, or other galactic …
