Abstract

Although the star-formation process has been studied for decades, many important aspects of the physics involved remain unsolved. Recent advancements in instrumentation in the infrared, far-infrared, and sub-millimeter-wavelength regimes have contributed to a significantly improved understanding of processes in the interstellar medium (ISM) leading to star formation. The future of research on the ISM and star formation looks exciting with instruments like the JWST, ALMA, etc., already contributing to the topic by gathering high-resolution high-sensitivity data and with several larger ground- and space-bound facilities either being planned or constructed. India has a sizable number of astronomers engaged in research on topics related to the ISM and star formation. In this white paper invited by the Astronomical Society of India to prepare a vision document for Indian astronomy, we review the Indian contributions to the global understanding of the star-formation process and suggest areas that require focused efforts both in creating observing facilities and in the theoretical front in India, to improve the impact of our research in the coming decades.

银河系中星际介质和恒星形成的研究:一个印度的视角
尽管人们对恒星形成的过程已经研究了几十年,但其中涉及的许多重要物理问题仍未得到解决。红外、远红外和亚毫米波波段仪器的最新进展,大大提高了对星际介质(ISM)中导致恒星形成的过程的理解。有了JWST、ALMA等仪器,ISM和恒星形成研究的未来看起来令人兴奋,这些仪器已经通过收集高分辨率、高灵敏度的数据,以及几个正在规划或建造的大型地面和空间设施,为这一主题做出了贡献。印度有相当数量的天文学家从事与ISM和恒星形成有关的主题的研究。在这篇白皮书中,我们回顾了印度对全球理解恒星形成过程的贡献,并提出了在印度建立观测设施和理论前沿方面需要重点努力的领域,以提高我们的研究在未来几十年的影响。
