Context. Measurements of internal dynamics of young clusters and star-forming regions are
crucial to fully understand the process of their formation. A basic prerequisite for this is a well …

Observational and theoretical evidence suggests that a substantial population of molecular
clouds (MCs) appear to be unbound, dominated by turbulent motions. However, these …

We explain the large variety of star formation laws in terms of one single, simple law that can
be inferred from the definition of the star formation rate and basic algebra. The resulting …

In order to develop a complete theory of star formation, one essentially needs to know two
things: what collapses and how long it takes. This is the second paper in a series, where we …

We investigate whether spatial-kinematic substructure in young star-forming regions can be
quantified using Moran's I statistic. Its presence in young star clusters would provide an …

The fragmentation of gas to form stars in molecular clouds is intrinsically linked to the
turbulence within them. These internal motions are set at the birth of the cloud and may vary …

We explore the Schmidt-Kennicutt (SK) relations and the star formation efficiency per free-
fall time ($\eff $), mirroring observational studies, in numerical simulations of filamentary …

The current kinematic state of young stellar clusters can give clues on their actual dynamical
state and origin. In this contribution, we use Gaia DR3 data of the Lagoon Nebula Cluster …

We perform high-resolution simulations of forming star clusters as they merge inside giant
molecular clouds (GMCs) using hydrodynamics coupled to N-body dynamics to …

We provide a detailed comparison between the``gravoturbulent''(GT) and``global
hierarchical collapse''(GHC) models for molecular clouds and star formation, their respective …
