Context. High-mass stars and star clusters commonly form within hub-filament systems.
Monoceros R2 (hereafter Mon R2), at a distance of 830 pc, harbors one of the closest of …

Context. Converging networks of interstellar filaments, that is hubs, have been recently
linked to the formation of stellar clusters and massive stars. Understanding the relationship …

Context. Dense molecular filaments are ubiquituous in the interstellar medium, yet their
internal physical conditions and the role of gravity, turbulence, the magnetic field, radiation …

Context. Despite their variety of scales throughout the interstellar medium, filaments in
nearby low-mass clouds appear to have a characteristic width of∼ 0.1 pc from the analysis …

Context. Filamentary structures are common in molecular clouds. Explaining how they
fragment to dense cores is a missing step in understanding their role in star formation. Aims …

Context. Through observations numerous giant molecular filaments (GMFs) have been
discovered in the Milky Way. Their role in the Galactic star formation and Galaxy-scale …

We use numerical simulations of turbulent cluster-forming regions to study the nature of
dense filamentary structures in star formation. Using four hydrodynamic and …

The study of the development of structures on multiple scales in the cold interstellar medium
has experienced rapid expansion in the past decade, on both the observational and the …

Context. Dense molecular filaments are central to the star formation process, but the detailed
manner in which they fragment into prestellar cores is not well understood yet. Aims. Here …

There is now abundant observational evidence that star formation is a highly dynamical
process that connects filament hierarchies and supernova feedback from galaxy-scale …
