This review examines the state-of-the-art knowledge of high-mass star and massive cluster
formation, gained from ambitious observational surveys, which acknowledges the multiscale …

Star-forming gas clouds are strongly magnetized, and their ionization fractions are high
enough to place them close to the regime of ideal magnetohydrodyamics on all but the …

In this chapter we review recent advances in understanding the roles that magnetic fields
play throughout the star formation process, gained through observations and simulations of …

The magnetic field is a key ingredient in the recipe of star formation. However, the
importance of the magnetic field in the early stages of the formation of low-and high-mass …

Context. Massive stars form in magnetized and turbulent environments and are often located
in stellar clusters. The accretion and outflows mechanisms associated with forming massive …

The role of the magnetic field during protostellar collapse is poorly constrained from an
observational point of view, although it could be significant if we believe state-of-the-art …

The infrared dark cloud (IRDC) G028. 23-00.19 hosts a massive (1500 M⊙), cold (12 K),
and 3.6–70 μm IR dark clump (MM1) that has the potential to form high-mass stars. We …

Abstract The Davis–Chandrasekhar–Fermi (DCF) method provides an indirect way to
estimate the magnetic field strength from statistics of magnetic field orientations. We compile …

We present high angular resolution dust polarization and molecular line observations
carried out with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) toward the Class …

Star formation in our Galaxy occurs in molecular clouds that are self-gravitating, highly
turbulent, and magnetized. We study the conditions under which cloud cores inherit large …
