Particular emphasis is given to the, in my opinion, most important observations to put strong constraints on models of high-mass star formation: the existence and properties of high-mass starless cores, the existence or not of isolated high-mass stars, the possible support mechanisms of starless cores, the role of filaments in the mass transport to high-mass cores, ways of characterizing cores, the binary properties, and the properties of disks around high-mass stars.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-13T08:08:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high-mass star formation", "observational aspects", "mass transport", "little bit", "support mechanisms" ], "tags": [ "review article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
