Star-forming regions show a rich and varied chemistry, including the presence of complex
organic molecules—in both the cold gas distributed on large scales and the hot regions …

Outflows from accreting, rotating, and magnetized systems are ubiquitous. Protostellar
outflows can be observed from radio to X-ray wavelengths in the continuum and a multitude …

Abstract The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large (6.6 m), cold (< 50 K), infrared
(IR)-optimized space observatory that will be launched early in the next decade into orbit …

We review current understanding of star formation, outlining an overall theoretical framework
and the observations that motivate it. A conception of star formation has emerged in which …

The enormous radiative and mechanical luminosities of massive stars impact a vast range of
scales and processes, from the reionization of the universe, to the evolution of galaxies, to …

Although fundamental for astrophysics, the processes that produce massive stars are not
well understood. Large distances, high extinction, and short timescales of critical …

Abstract Hi-GAL (Herschel InfraRed Galactic Plane Survey) is a large-scale survey of the
Galactic plane, performed with Herschel in five infrared continuum bands between 70 and …

Based on sub-arcsecond Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and
Submillimeter Array (SMA) 1.3 mm continuum images of the massive protocluster NGC …

Solar-mass stars form via disk-mediated accretion. Recent findings indicate that this process
is probably episodic in the form of accretion bursts, possibly caused by disk fragmentation …

We determine the magnetic field strength in the OMC 1 region of the Orion A filament via a
new implementation of the Chandrasekhar–Fermi method using observations performed as …
