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 …

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 …

Abstract The APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy (ATLASGAL) is an unbiased
870 μm submillimetre survey of the inner Galactic plane (| ℓ|< 60° with| b|< 1 5). It is the …

The ALMA Survey of 70 μm Dark High-mass Clumps in Early Stages (ASHES). I. Pilot Survey:
Clump Fragmentation - IOPscience This site uses cookies. By continuing to use this site you …

The conversion of gas into stars is a fundamental process in astrophysics and cosmology.
Stars are known to form from the gravitational collapse of dense clumps in interstellar …

Whether or not molecular clouds and embedded cloud fragments are stable against
collapse is of utmost importance for the study of the star formation process. Only" …

We present the 360° catalogue of physical properties of Hi-GAL compact sources, detected
between 70 and 500 m. This release not only completes the analogous catalogue previously …

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 …

The relative importance of primordial molecular cloud fragmentation versus large-scale
accretion still remains to be assessed in the context of massive core/star formation. Studying …

By matching infrared-selected, massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) and compact H ii
regions in the Red MSX Source survey to massive clumps found in the submillimetre …
