Theory of Star Formation [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2007 We review current understanding of star formation, outlining an overall theoretical framework and the observations that motivate it. A conception of star formation has emerged in which turbulence plays a dual role, both creating overdensities to initiate gravitational contraction or collapse, and countering the effects of gravity in these overdense ...

Fast and inefficient star formation due to short-lived molecular clouds and rapid feedback. [PDF]
Nature, 2019 The physics of star formation and the deposition of mass, momentum and energy into the interstellar medium by massive stars (‘feedback’) are the main uncertainties in modern cosmological simulations of galaxy formation and evolution1,2.
