Star Formation across the Galaxy
Alvaro Sanchez-Monge, Henrik Beuther, Maryvonne Gerin +41
Star formation is both a multi-scale and highly dynamic process. It is regulated by the combination of gravity, turbulence, feedback and magnetic fields, which connect more than si…
Tracking the flow of interstellar gas across scales: from galaxies to star clusters
Ana Duarte-Cabral, Maxime Valeille-Manet, Mathilde Bouvier +30
While the baryon cycle of the interstellar medium - and its ability to form stars - plays a key role in galaxy evolution, unravelling the physical processes driving its evolution r…
Challenges in probing turbulent and magnetic support in cores: the W43-MM1 protocluster case study
M. Valeille-Manet, F. Louvet, F. Motte +13
Estimating the level of non-thermal support in cores is both challenging and crucial for constraining the earliest stages of star formation. We quantify the kinetic and magnetic su…
Virial-based extraction of structures in numerical simulations: The vibes tool

The processes that determine the stellar initial mass function (IMF) and its connection to the core mass function (CMF) are among the major open questions in star formation. The de…
The 10-15 GHz radio continuum survey of the Galactic Plane with SKAO
A. Traficante, C. Mininni, F. Cavallaro +63
Star formation emerges from the complex interplay between gravity, turbulence, magnetic fields, and stellar feedback, all of which vary across spatial scales and Galactic environme…
ALMA-IMF XXII. Role of core subfragmentation in the IMF origin: Hierarchical fragmentation cascade and CMF in W43-MM1
F. Motte, N. Le Nestour, R. Veyry +29
We aim to predict how the currently observed top-heavy CMF in the massive protocluster W43-MM1 evolves due to core subfragmentation. We used getsf to extract sources in 5 ALMA imag…

We present a study of core fragmentation in the W51-E and W51-IRS2 protoclusters in the W51 high-mass star-forming region. The identification of core fragmentation is achieved by t…
ALMA-IMF XVII -- Census and lifetime of high-mass prestellar cores in 14 massive protoclusters
M. Valeille-Manet, S. Bontemps, T. Csengeri +24
High-mass prestellar cores are extremely rare. The search for such objects has long been hindered by small sample sizes, leading to large uncertainties in their lifetimes and the c…
