Dynamical accretion flows and magnetic
field in high-mass star formation
Abstract : How much do different physical processes in the interstellar medium — in
particular dynamics, magnetic field and density structure — influence the formation of
massive stars? I will show observational results covering scales of dynamical cloud-
cloud collisions to collapsing star-forming regions. Employing studies from mm
wavelengths (SMA, NOEMA, ALMA, IRAM30m) to the mid-infrared (JWST), the
characterisation of magnetic field, density structure and accretion processes will be
discussed.
