Our Knowledge of High-Mass Star Formation at the Dawn of Herschel
arXiv:0806.0703 · doi:10.1051/eas:0934014
Abstract
We review the theories and observations of high-mass star formation emphasizing the differences with those of low-mass star formation. We hereafter describe the progress expected to be achieved with Herschel, thanks notably to Key Programmes dedicated to the earliest phases of high-mass star formation.
