Using the Submillimeter Array (SMA) and Very Large Array (VLA) radio interferometers, the author has discovered a common picture of hierarchical fragmentation that challenges some of the leading theoretical models and suggests a new, observation-driven understanding of how massive star formation in clustered environments may begin: it is initiated by the hierarchical fragmentation of a dense filament from 10 pc down to 0.01 pc, and the stellar mass buildup is simultaneously fed by hierarchical accretion at similar scales. The new scenario points out the importance of turbulence and filamentary structure, which are now receiving increasing attention and further tests from both observers and theorists. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aAtmospheric sciences 606 $aMicrowaves 606 $aOptical engineering 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aAtmospheric Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000 606 $aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24019 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aAtmospheric sciences. 615 0$aMicrowaves. 615 0$aOptical engineering. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aAtmospheric Sciences. 615 24$aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering. 676 $a523.88 700 $aWang$b Ke$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0755911 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300435403321 996 $aThe Earliest Stages of Massive Clustered Star Formation: Fragmentation of Infrared Dark Clouds$92510905 997 $aUNINA
