In the past twenty years, the reconnaissance of 12CO and 13CO emission in the Milky Way
by single-dish millimeter-wave telescopes has expanded our view and understanding of …

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 …

Synthetic observations are playing an increasingly important role across astrophysics, both
for interpreting real observations and also for making meaningful predictions from models. In …

ABSTRACT After two Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observing
cycles, only a handful of [C ii] 158 μm emission line searches in z> 6 galaxies have reported …

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 …

Using high-resolution simulations with explicit treatment of stellar feedback physics based
on the FIRE (Feedback In Realistic Environments) project, we study how galaxy formation …

Powerful jets and outflows are launched from the protostellar disks around newborn stars.
These outflows carry enough mass and momentum to transform the structure of their parent …

The density structure of the interstellar medium determines where stars form and release
energy, momentum and heavy elements, driving galaxy evolution,,–. Density variations are …

Probability distribution functions of the total hydrogen column density (N-PDFs) are a
valuable tool for distinguishing between the various processes (turbulence, gravity, radiative …

Stars form in supersonic turbulent molecular clouds that are self-gravitating. We present an
analytic determination of the star formation rate (SFR) in a gravoturbulent medium based on …
