▪ Abstract A violent outflow of high-velocity gas is one of the first manifestations of the
formation of a new star. Such outflows emerge bipolarly from the young object and involve …

The role of turbulence and magnetic fields is studied for star formation in molecular clouds.
We derive and compare six theoretical models for the star formation rate (SFR)—the …

Young and directly imaged exoplanets offer critical tests of planet-formation models that are
not matched by radial velocity surveys of mature stars. These targets have been extremely …

We have conducted a high-resolution imaging study of the Taurus–Auriga star-forming
region in order to characterize the primordial outcome of multiple star formation and the …

We investigate massive star formation in turbulent, magnetized, parsec-scale clumps of
molecular clouds including protostellar outflow feedback using three-dimensional numerical …

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 …

Forming stars emit a substantial amount of radiation into their natal environment. We use
ORION, an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) three-dimensional gravito-radiation …

The central problem in forming a star is the angular momentum in the circumstellar disk,
which prevents material from falling into the central stellar core. An attractive solution to the …

We investigate the launching of outflows from the disc–magnetosphere boundary of slowly
and rapidly rotating magnetized stars using axisymmetric and exploratory 3D …

We present a spectro-astrometric survey of molecular gas in the inner regions of 16
protoplanetary disks using CRIRES, the high-resolution infrared imaging spectrometer on …
