Recent studies of the nearest star-forming clouds of the Galaxy at submillimeter wavelengths
with the Herschel Space Observatory have provided us with unprecedented images of the …

Star formation is a multi-scale, multi-physics problem ranging from the size scale of
molecular clouds (∼ 10 ∼10 s pc) down to the size scales of dense prestellar cores (∼ 0.1 …

We present and discuss the results of the Herschel Gould Belt survey (HGBS) observations
in an~ 11 deg 2 area of the Aquila molecular cloud complex at d~ 260 pc, imaged with the …

Stars form from the gravitational collapse of dense molecular cloud cores. In the protostellar
phase, mass accretes from the core onto a protostar, likely through an accretion disk; and it …

We present a new algorithm for detecting filamentary structure FilFinder. The algorithm uses
the techniques of mathematical morphology for filament identification, presenting a …

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 …

Emission from protostars at centimeter radio wavelengths has been shown to trace the free–
free emission arising from ionizing shocks as a result of jets and outflows driven by …

The transport of angular momentum by magnetic fields is a crucial physical process in the
formation and evolution of stars and disks. Because the ionization degree in star-forming …

We present a multiplicity study of all known protostars (94) in the Perseus molecular cloud
from a Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array survey at Ka-band (8 mm and 1 cm) and C-band (4 …

ABSTRACT A key parameter to the description of all star formation processes is the density
structure of the gas. In this Letter, we make use of probability distribution functions (PDFs) of …
