We review current understanding of star formation, outlining an overall theoretical framework
and the observations that motivate it. A conception of star formation has emerged in which …

▪ Abstract Turbulence affects the structure and motions of nearly all temperature and density
regimes in the interstellar gas. This two-part review summarizes the observations, theory …

New large-scale CO surveys of the first and second Galactic quadrants and the nearby
molecular cloud complexes in Orion and Taurus, obtained with the CfA 1.2 m telescope …

Cold dark clouds are nearby members of the densest and coldest phase in the Galactic
interstellar medium, and represent the most accessible sites where stars like our Sun are …

In the past twenty years, the reconnaissance of 12CO and 13CO emission in the Milky Way
by single-dish millimeter-wave telescopes has expanded our view and understanding of …

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 …

We descibe an automatic, objective routine for analyzing the clumpy structure in a spectral
line position-position-velocity data cube. The algorithm works by first contouring the data at a …

CARBON isotopes from soil carbonate1–4 and soil organic matter5, 6 yield
palaeoecological information because the carbon in the soil carbonate forms in isotopic …

Recent studies of the nearest star-forming clouds of the Galaxy at submillimeter wavelengths
with the Herschel Space Observatory have provided us with unprecedented images of the …

The interstellar medium of galaxies is the reservoir out of which stars are born and into
which stars inject newly created elements as they age. The physical properties of the …
