The present workshop on the physical processes in fragmentation and star formation discusses atomic and molecular processes, turbulence, and magnetic field in fragmentation, star formation in different astrophysical environments, hydrodynamical and dynamical models, the initial mass function, star clusters, and the low mass end of the initial mass function (IMF). Attention is given to molecular cloud chemistry with mixing, the collapse and fragmentation of molecular clouds, supersonic turbulent fragmentation of giant molecular clouds, and turbulence in the frame of the evolution of a self-gravitating protocloud. Topics addressed include the interstellar structure, interstellar gas cycling powered by star formation, observations of fragmentation, and extrasolar planetary material. Also discussed are protostellar core instabilities, the evolution of the first protostellar core, the multimodality of star formation, fragmentation theories and the IMF, and star clusters in the LMC.

Abstract

The present workshop on the physical processes in fragmentation and star formation discusses atomic and molecular processes, turbulence, and magnetic field in fragmentation, star formation in different astrophysical environments, hydrodynamical and dynamical models, the initial mass function, star clusters, and the low mass end of the initial mass function (IMF). Attention is given to molecular cloud chemistry with mixing, the collapse and fragmentation of molecular clouds, supersonic turbulent fragmentation of giant molecular clouds, and turbulence in the frame of the evolution of a self-gravitating protocloud. Topics addressed include the interstellar structure, interstellar gas cycling powered by star formation, observations of fragmentation, and extrasolar planetary material. Also discussed are protostellar core instabilities, the evolution of the first protostellar core, the multimodality of star formation, fragmentation theories and the IMF, and star clusters in the LMC.
