Observational studies of high-mass star formation

Observational studies of high-mass star formation by Igor I. Zinchenko. on Tuesday 29 November We present a review of observational studies of high-mass star formation, based mainly on our own research. It includes surveys of high-mass star-forming regions in various molecular lines and in continuum, investigations of filamentary infrared dark clouds, which represent the earliest phases of massive star formation, detailed studies of individual high-mass star-forming regions, dense cores and disks harboring massive (proto)stars, and associated outflows. Chemistry in these regions is discussed, too. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.15586v1
