Observations that resolve nearby galaxies into individual regions across multiple phases of
the gas–star formation feedback “matter cycle” have provided a sharp new view of molecular …

Understanding the physical mechanisms that control galaxy formation is a fundamental
challenge in contemporary astrophysics. Recent advances in the field of astrophysical …

One of the key mysteries of star formation is the origin of the stellar initial mass function
(IMF). The IMF is observed to be nearly universal in the Milky Way and its satellites, and …

We present a statistical study of a sample of 17 hub-filament-system (HFS) clouds of high-
mass star formation using high-angular resolution (∼ 1–2 arcsec) ALMA 1.3 and 3 mm …

The formation of stellar clusters dictates the pace at which galaxies evolve, and solving the
question of their formation will undoubtedly lead to a better understanding of the Universe as …

Stars form in dense, clustered environments, where feedback from newly formed stars
eventually ejects the gas, terminating star formation and leaving behind one or more star …

Context. Star formation and stellar feedback are interlinked processes that redistribute
energy, turbulence, and material throughout galaxies. Because young and massive stars …

We demonstrate that planet formation via pebble accretion is sensitive to external
photoevaporation of the outer disc. In pebble accretion, planets grow by accreting from a flux …

Context. Understanding the collapse of dense molecular cloud cores to stellar densities and
the subsequent evolution of the protostar is of importance to model the feedback effects such …

Most stars form in highly clustered environments within molecular clouds, but eventually
disperse into the distributed stellar field population. Exactly how the stellar distribution …
