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-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 …

The enormous radiative and mechanical luminosities of massive stars impact a vast range of
scales and processes, from the reionization of the universe, to the evolution of galaxies, to …

The characteristic mass that sets the peak of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is closely
linked to the thermodynamic behaviour of interstellar gas, which controls how gas fragments …

The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is commonly assumed to be an invariant probability
density distribution function of initial stellar masses. These initial stellar masses are …

The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is commonly interpreted to be a scale-invariant
probability density distribution function (PDF) such that many small clusters yield the same …

According to modern theory, galactic evolution is driven by the dynamics of dark matter and
stochastic star formation, but galaxies are observed to be simple systems. The existence of …

We analyze the 3D morphology and kinematics of 13 open clusters (OCs) located within 500
pc of the Sun, using Gaia EDR 3 and kinematic data from the literature. Members of OCs are …

We analyze the spatial distribution of dusty young stellar objects (YSOs) identified in the
Spitzer Survey of the Orion Molecular clouds, augmenting these data with Chandra X-ray …

We present an investigation of the relationship between giant molecular cloud (GMC)
properties and the associated stellar clusters in the nearby flocculent galaxy NGC 7793. We …
