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…
Frontiers of chemical complexity in the interstellar medium: unveiling the cosmic origins of life
Víctor M. Rivilla, Miguel Sanz-Novo, Maite Beltrán +33
The interstellar medium (ISM) contains a rich molecular inventory that provides a unique window into the chemistry operating during star and planet formation and its connection to…
From local chemistry to galactic evolution: unlocking the power of interstellar isotopes with ALMA2040
Laura Colzi, Hayley A. Bunn, Víctor M. Rivilla +29
Molecular isotopic ratios provide a unique window into the chemical evolution of the interstellar medium, linking stellar nucleosynthesis and Galactic chemical evolution to the phy…
Unveiling star formation at sub-solar metallicity with ALMA2040
Francesco Fontani, Frédérique Motte, Maria T. Beltrán +9
A fundamental question in astrophysics is whether the processes governing star formation are universal or depend on the physical conditions of their local galactic environment. The…
The Emergence of Prebiotic Chemistry in the ISM
Izaskun Jimenez-Serra, Giuliana Cosentino, Francisco Montenegro-Montes +22
Contrary to popular belief, the interstellar medium (ISM) is not empty; it is filled with atoms, dust particles, and molecules. Some of these molecules may have been the very build…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
