Interstellar Medium, Star Formation, and Astrochemistry
To study star formation we need to understand the interstellar medium (ISM), its dynamics and its structure along the different spatial scales. In particular, there are some issues about the formation of high-mass stars that remain unknown. However, nowadays thanks to the most modern telescopes and instruments, we are able to observe and analyze the physical and chemical processes involved in the birth of such stars, shedding light on the open questions. In this talk, I will introduce the interstellar medium, and discuss the interesting structures distributed at different spatial scales related to the collapse of gas that gives rise to the star formation processes. I will show that the observational study of star formation is a research that must be conducted in a multispectral way, focusing on the multi-spatial scale. Additionally, some points regarding astrochemistry will be introduced as tools that help us in the above mentioned studies.
