We review the state of the art of three dimensional numerical simulations of solar and stellar
dynamos. We summarize fundamental constraints of numerical modelling and the …

The role of outflows in the formation of stars and the protostellar disks that generate them is
a central question in astrophysics. Outflows are associated with star formation across the …

Context. Computational astrophysics nowadays routinely combines grid-adaptive
capabilities with modern shock-capturing, high resolution spatio-temporal integration …

The design and implementation of a new framework for adaptive mesh refinement
calculations are described. It is intended primarily for applications in astrophysical fluid …

Context. Observations with modern instruments such as Herschel reveal that stars form
clustered inside filamentary arms of~ 1 pc length embedded in giant molecular clouds …

Evolved cool stars of various masses are major cosmic engines, delivering substantial
mechanical and radiative feedback to the interstellar medium through strong stellar winds …

As part of the SILCC-Zoom project, we present our first sub-parsec resolution radiation-
hydrodynamic simulations of two molecular clouds self-consistently forming from a turbulent …

The formation of protostars and their disks has been understood as the result of the
gravitational collapse phase of an accumulation of dense gas that determines the mass …

The chemical compositions of stars encode the history of the universe and are thus
fundamental for advancing our knowledge of astrophysics and cosmology. However …

In this chapter, we review some historical understanding and recent advances on the Initial
Mass Function (IMF) and the Core Mass Function (CMF), both in terms of observations and …
