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

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 …

We introduce the public version of the cosmological magnetohydrodynamical moving-mesh
simulation code A repo. This version contains a finite-volume magnetohydrodynamics …

ABSTRACT We present STARFORGE (STAR FORmation in Gaseous Environments): a new
numerical framework for 3D radiation magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of star …

One of the key mysteries of star formation is the origin of the stellar initial mass function
(IMF). The IMF is observed to be nearly universal in the Milky Way and its satellites, and …

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 …

We present 3D 'zoom-in'simulations of the formation of two molecular clouds out of the
galactic interstellar medium. We model the clouds–identified from the SILCC simulations …

Probability distribution functions of the total hydrogen column density (N-PDFs) are a
valuable tool for distinguishing between the various processes (turbulence, gravity, radiative …

Stars form in supersonic turbulent molecular clouds that are self-gravitating. We present an
analytic determination of the star formation rate (SFR) in a gravoturbulent medium based on …
