Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of Star Formation
TL;DR: In this paper, an overall theoretical framework and the observations that motivate it are outlined, outlining the key dynamical processes involved in star formation, including turbulence, magnetic fields, and self-gravity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of star formation by supersonic turbulence
TL;DR: A review of the successes and problems of both the classical dynamical theory and the standard theory of magnetostatic support, from both observational and theoretical perspectives, is given in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The formation of the first star in the Universe.
TL;DR: It is concluded that at most one massive metal-free star forms per pregalactic halo, consistent with recent abundance measurements of metal-poor galactic halo stars.

In the Beginning: The First Sources of Light and the Reionization of the Universe
Rennan Barkana,Abraham Loeb +1 more
TL;DR: The formation of the first stars and quasars marks the transformation of the universe from its smooth initial state to its clumpy current state as discussed by the authors, and the study of high-redshift sources is likely to attract major attention in observational and theoretical cosmology over the next decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Formation of Massive Stars from Turbulent Cores
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that massive-star forming regions are supersonically turbulent, and that the molecular cores out of which individual massive stars form are as well, and they apply these results to predict the properties of protostars thought to be powering several observed hot molecular cores.
