Interstellar polarization at optical-to-infrared wavelengths is known to arise from asymmetric
dust grains aligned with the magnetic field. This effect provides a potentially powerful probe …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Context. Massive stars form in magnetized and turbulent environments and are often located
in stellar clusters. The accretion and outflows mechanisms associated with forming massive …

Massive stars play a crucial role in the production of heavy elements and in the evolution of
the interstellar medium, yet how they form is still a matter of debate. We report high-angular …

Abstract The Davis–Chandrasekhar–Fermi (DCF) method provides an indirect way to
estimate the magnetic field strength from statistics of magnetic field orientations. We compile …

We present the results of radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the formation and
expansion of H ii regions and their surrounding photodissociation regions (PDRs) in …

We present high angular resolution dust polarization and molecular line observations
carried out with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) toward the Class …

We study the alignment of irregular dust grains by mechanical torques due to the drift of
grains through the ambient gas. We first calculate mechanical alignment torques (MATs) …
