Understanding the physical mechanisms that control galaxy formation is a fundamental
challenge in contemporary astrophysics. Recent advances in the field of astrophysical …

We review progress over the past decade in observations of large-scale star formation, with
a focus on the interface between extragalactic and Galactic studies. Methods of measuring …

This paper describes the identification, modelling, and removal of previously unexplained
systematic effects in the polarization data of the Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) on …

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 …

Magnetic reconnection, topological changes in magnetic fields, is a fundamental process in
magnetized plasmas. It is associated with energy release in regions of magnetic field …

We analyse the physical properties of gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of 132 Milky
Way (MW)-like galaxies at z= 0 from the cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulation …

The role of turbulence and magnetic fields is studied for star formation in molecular clouds.
We derive and compare six theoretical models for the star formation rate (SFR)—the …

This review examines observations of magnetic fields in molecular clouds and what those
observations tell us about the theory of molecular cloud evolution and star formation. First …

Molecular clouds are supported by turbulence and magnetic fields, but quantifying their
influence on cloud life cycle and star formation efficiency (SFE) remains an open question …

Star formation lies at the center of a web of processes that drive cosmic evolution:
generation of radiant energy, synthesis of elements, formation of planets, and development …
