A misaligned protostellar disk fed by gas streamers in a barred spiral-like massive dense core

Xiaofeng Mai, Tie Liu, Xunchuan Liu +42

High-mass stars, born in massive dense cores (MDCs), profoundly impact the cosmic ecosystem through feedback processes and metal enrichment, yet little is known about how MDCs asse…

The most massive star clusters in molecular clouds: Insights from the integrated cloud-wide initial mass function (ICIMF) theory

J. W. Zhou, Pavel Kroupa, Sami Dib

The combination of the high-resolution ALMA, JWST and HST observations provides unprecedented insights into the connection between individual molecular clouds and their internal st…

Properties of the cores and filaments in the Ophiuchus molecular cloud and its L1688 hub-filament system

Bo-Sheng Jia, Guo-Yin Zhang, Alexander Menshchikov +9

Analyzing filaments and cores in molecular clouds is key to understanding galactic star formation and its environmental dependence. This paper studies the properties and distributi…

The merger of hard binaries in globular clusters as the primary channel for the formation of second generation stars

Valery Kravtsov, Sami Dib, Francisco A. Calderon

We have recently presented observational evidence which suggests that the origin of the second generation (G2) stars in globular clusters (GCs) is due to the binary-mediated collis…

Variation of the high-mass slope of the stellar initial mass function: Theory meets observations

Sami Dib

We present observational evidence of the correlation between the high-mass slope of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in young star clusters and their stellar surface density…

Stellar collisions in globular clusters: Constraints on the initial mass function of the first generation of stars

Sami Dib, Valery V. Kravtsov, Hosein Haghi +2

Globular clusters display an anticorrelation between the fraction of the first generation of stars () and the slope of the present-day mass function of th…
