The first generation of stars, often called Population III (or Pop III), form from metal-free
primordial gas at redshifts z∼ 30 and below. They dominate the cosmic star-formation …

The universe's biggest galaxies have both vast atmospheres and supermassive central
black holes. This article reviews how those two components of a large galaxy couple and …

We present PHANGS–ALMA, the first survey to map CO J= 2→ 1 line emission at∼ 1''∼ 100
pc spatial resolution from a representative sample of 90 nearby (d≲ 20 Mpc) galaxies that lie …

We present the PHANGS-MUSE survey, a programme that uses the MUSE integral field
spectrograph at the ESO VLT to map 19 massive (9.4< log (M⋆/M⊙)< 11.0) nearby (D≲ 20 …

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 …

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

The Gaia mission has opened a new window into the internal kinematics of young star
clusters at the sub-km s− 1 level, with implications for our understanding of how star clusters …

The physics of star formation and the deposition of mass, momentum and energy into the
interstellar medium by massive stars ('feedback') are the main uncertainties in modern …

We present a unified description of the scenario of global hierarchical collapse (GHC). GHC
constitutes a flow regime of (non-homologous) collapses within collapses, in which all …

Magnetic reconnection, topological changes in magnetic fields, is a fundamental process in
magnetized plasmas. It is associated with energy release in regions of magnetic field …
