Recent progress in theory and observational study of dust grain alignment and rotational disruption in star-forming regions
Modern understanding of dust astrophysics reveals that radiative torques (RATs) arising
from the radiation–dust interaction can induce two fundamental effects: grain alignment and …

Star cluster progenitors are dynamically decoupled from their parent molecular clouds
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 …
