Star formation lies at the center of a web of processes that drive cosmic evolution:
generation of radiant energy, synthesis of elements, formation of planets, and development …

Star-forming gas clouds are strongly magnetized, and their ionization fractions are high
enough to place them close to the regime of ideal magnetohydrodyamics on all but the …

Understanding the physics of turbulence is crucial for many applications, including weather,
industry and astrophysics. In the interstellar medium,, supersonic turbulence plays a crucial …

Star formation is inefficient. Only a few per cent of the available gas in molecular clouds
forms stars, leading to the observed low star formation rate (SFR). The same holds when …

We address the problem of the origin of massive stars, namely the origin, path, and
timescale of the mass flows that create them. Based on extensive numerical simulations, we …

Star formation is primarily controlled by the interplay between gravity, turbulence, and
magnetic fields. However, the turbulence and magnetic fields in molecular clouds near the …

Filaments are ubiquitous in the Universe. Recent observations have revealed that stars and
star clusters form preferentially along dense filaments. Understanding the formation and …

We present dynamical properties of 294 cores embedded in twelve IRDCs observed as part
of the ASHES Survey. Protostellar cores have higher gas masses, surface densities, column …

Turbulence is ubiquitous in molecular clouds (MCs), but its origin is still unclear because
MCs are usually assumed to live longer than the turbulence dissipation time. Interstellar …

Magnetic fields play an important role in astrophysical accretion discs and in the interstellar
and intergalactic medium. They drive jets, suppress fragmentation in star-forming clouds and …
