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 …

Aims. We present the first public release of high-quality data products (DR1) from Hi-GAL,
the Herschel infrared Galactic Plane Survey. Hi-GAL is the keystone of a suite of continuum …

We review the role that magnetic field may have on the formation and evolution of molecular
clouds. After a brief presentation and main assumptions leading to ideal MHD equations …

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 initial conditions found in infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) provide insights on how high-
mass stars and stellar clusters form. We have conducted high-angular resolution and high …

The infrared dark cloud (IRDC) G028. 23-00.19 hosts a massive (1500 M⊙), cold (12 K),
and 3.6–70 μm IR dark clump (MM1) that has the potential to form high-mass stars. We …

We sort 4683 molecular clouds between 10< ℓ< 65 from the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey
based on observational diagnostics of star formation activity: compact 70 μm sources, mid-IR …

Context. Massive-star formation and the processes involved are still poorly understood. The
ATLASGAL survey provides an ideal basis for detailed studies of large numbers of massive …

The recent data collected by Herschel have confirmed that interstellar structures with a
filamentary shape are ubiquitously present in the Milky Way. Filaments are thought to be …
