Star formation is a multi-scale, multi-physics problem ranging from the size scale of
molecular clouds (∼ 10 ∼10 s pc) down to the size scales of dense prestellar cores (∼ 0.1 …

ABSTRACT We present STARFORGE (STAR FORmation in Gaseous Environments): a new
numerical framework for 3D radiation magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of star …

Stars are among the most fundamental structures of our Universe. They comprise most of the
baryonic and luminous mass of galaxies; synthesize heavy elements; and inject mass …

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 …

Dust grains influence many aspects of star formation, including planet formation and the
opacities for radiative transfer, chemistry, and the magnetic field via Ohmic, Hall, as well as …

Context. The transport of angular momentum is fundamental during the formation of low-
mass stars; too little removal and rotation ensures stellar densities are never reached, too …

Using zoom-simulations carried out with the adaptive mesh-refinement code ramses with a
dynamic range of up to 227≈ 1.34× 108 we investigate the accretion profiles around six …

Context. Around 30 per cent of the observed exoplanets that orbit M dwarf stars are gas
giants that are more massive than Jupiter. These planets are prime candidates for formation …

Context. Between the two research communities that study star formation and protoplanetary
disk evolution, only a few efforts have been made to understand and bridge the gap …

Hot corino chemistry and warm carbon chain chemistry (WCCC) are driven by gas–grain
interactions in star-forming cores: radical–radical recombination reactions to form complex …
