Lack of high-mass prestellar cores in the starless MDCs of NGC6334
F. Louvet, S. Neupane, G. Garay +6
Two families of models compete to explain the formation of high-mass stars. The quasi-static models predict the existence of high-mass pre-stellar cores sustained by a high degree…

Detection of a high-mass prestellar core candidate in W43-MM1
T. Nony, F. Louvet, F. Motte +11
Aims. To constrain the physical processes that lead to the birth of high-mass stars it is mandatory to study the very first stages of their formation. We search for high-mass analo…

The unexpectedly large proportion of high-mass star-forming cores in a Galactic mini-starburst
F. Motte, T. Nony, F. Louvet +14
Understanding the processes that determine the stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) is a critical unsolved problem, with profound implications for many areas of astrophysics. In mol…
