The existence of∼ 109M⊙ supermassive black holes (SMBHs) within the first billion years
of the Universe has stimulated numerous ideas for the prompt formation and rapid growth of …

This review examines the state-of-the-art knowledge of high-mass star and massive cluster
formation, gained from ambitious observational surveys, which acknowledges the multiscale …

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 explore the evolution of stellar mass black hole binaries (BHBs) which are formed in the
self-gravitating discs of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Hardening due to three-body scattering …

The presence of a nearby companion alters the evolution of massive stars in binary systems,
leading to phenomena such as stellar mergers, x-ray binaries, and gamma-ray bursts …

Star and planet formation are the complex outcomes of gravitational collapse and angular
momentum transport mediated by protostellar and protoplanetary disks. In this review, we …

We review progress over the past decade in observations of large-scale star formation, with
a focus on the interface between extragalactic and Galactic studies. Methods of measuring …

We carry out 2D viscous hydrodynamical simulations of circumbinary accretion using the
moving-mesh code AREPO. We self-consistently compute the accretion flow over a wide …

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

Rotation is thought to be a major factor in the evolution of massive stars—especially at low
metallicity—with consequences for their chemical yields, ionizing flux, and final fate …
