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 …

▪ Abstract The Orion Nebula (M 42) is one of the best studied objects in the sky. The advent
of multi-wavelength investigations and quantitative high resolution imaging has produced a …

Pressure-confined clumps in magnetized molecular clouds ADS Classic is now deprecated.
It will be completely retired in October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new …

This book presents an introduction to, and modern account of, magnetohydrodynamic
(MHD) turbulence, an active field both in general turbulence theory and in various areas of …

The properties of Galactic molecular clouds tabulated by Solomon et al.(SRBY) are re-
examined using the Boston University-FCRAO Galactic Ring Survey of 13 CO J= 1–0 …

Recent discoveries of extrasolar planets and new direct evidence for protoplanetary disks
around young stars have had a major impact on our understanding of star and planet …

Whether or not molecular clouds and embedded cloud fragments are stable against
collapse is of utmost importance for the study of the star formation process. Only" …

We derive an analytical theory of the prestellar core initial mass function (IMF) based on an
extension of the Press-Schechter statistical formalism. Our approach relies on the general …

We present a general theory for the origin and collimation of centrifugally driven,
hydromagnetic winds from the surfaces of Keplerian accretion disks that surround central …

We report results of a three-dimensional, high resolution (up to 512 3) numerical
investigation of supersonic compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. We consider …
