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 …

We investigate the momentum and energy budget of stellar feedback during different stages
of stellar evolution, and study its impact on the interstellar medium (ISM) using simulations of …

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" …

Our current understanding of the physical processes of star formation is reviewed, with
emphasis on processes occurring in molecular clouds like those observed nearby. The …

The thermal properties of star-forming clouds have an important influence on how they
fragment into stars, and it is suggested in this paper that the low-mass stellar initial mass …

Binary systems are ubiquitous and their formation requires two-body interaction and
dissipation. In gaseous media, interactions between two initially unbound objects could …

We present MUSE, a software framework for combining existing computational tools for
different astrophysical domains into a single multiphysics, multiscale application. MUSE …

We show that massive stars and stellar clusters are formed simultaneously, the global
evolution of the forming cluster is what allows the central stars to become massive. We …

Observations have been carried out with the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array
(SCUBA) at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) of regions of comparatively isolated …
