TL;DR
This review discusses current theories and observations of high-mass star formation, emphasizing magnetic fields, feedback, initial conditions, and key observational constraints like starless cores, filaments, and disks.
Contribution
It synthesizes recent observational data and theoretical insights to better understand the processes and constraints involved in high-mass star formation.
Findings
Magnetic fields significantly influence star formation processes.
Filaments play a crucial role in mass transport to high-mass cores.
Properties of disks around high-mass stars are key observational constraints.
Abstract
A review on current theories and observations of high-mass star formation is given. Particularly the influence of magnetic fields and feedback mechanisms, and of varying initial conditions on theories are discussed. The, in my biased view, most important observations to put strong constraints on models of high-mass star formation are pres ented, in particular bearing on the existence and properties of high-mass starless cores, the role of filaments in the mass transport to high-mass cores, and the propertie s of disks around high-mass stars.
