Cold dark clouds are nearby members of the densest and coldest phase in the Galactic
interstellar medium, and represent the most accessible sites where stars like our Sun are …

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 …

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 …

We present λ 1.3 mm Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy
observations of dust polarization toward 30 star-forming cores and eight star-forming regions …

We determine the magnetic field strength in the OMC 1 region of the Orion A filament via a
new implementation of the Chandrasekhar–Fermi method using observations performed as …

ABSTRACT Massive stars (M> 8 M☉) typically form in parsec-scale molecular clumps that
collapse and fragment, leading to the birth of a cluster of stellar objects. We investigate the …

We describe a method for determining the dispersion of magnetic field vectors about large-
scale fields in turbulent molecular clouds. The method is designed to avoid inaccurate …

We investigate the global properties of the outflow-driven protostellar turbulence through 3D
MHD simulations. The simulations show that the turbulence in regions of active cluster …

We report new polarimetric and photometric maps of the massive star-forming region OMC-1
using the HAWC+ instrument on the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy. We …

We expand our study on the dispersion of polarization angles in molecular clouds. We show
how the effect of signal integration through the thickness of the cloud as well as across the …
