Recent progress with observations and models to characterize the magnetic fields from star-forming cores to protostellar disks
Hennebelle, Patrick; Maury, Anaëlle; Girart, Josep Miquel
In this review article, we aim at providing a global outlook on the progresses made in the recent years to characterize the role of magnetic fields during the embedded phases of the star formation process. Thanks to the development of observational capabilities and the parallel progress in numerical models, capturing most of the important physics …
The Role of Terahertz and Far-IR Spectroscopy in Understanding the Formation and Evolution of Interstellar Prebiotic Molecules
Mifsud, Duncan V.; Hailey, Perry A.; Traspas Muiña, Alejandra +3 more
Stellar systems are often formed through the collapse of dense molecular clouds which, in turn, return copious amounts of atomic and molecular material to the interstellar medium. An in-depth understanding of chemical evolution during this cyclic interaction between the stars and the interstellar medium is at the heart of astrochemistry. Systemati…
Interrelations between Astrochemistry and Galactic Dynamics
Mendoza, Edgar; Duronea, Nicolas; Ronsó, Daniele +4 more
This paper presents a review of ideas that interconnect Astrochemistry and Galactic Dynamics. Since these two areas are vast and not recent, each one has already been covered separately by several reviews. After a general historical introduction, and a needed quick review of processes like the stellar nucleosynthesis which gives the base to unders…
