MVSem: Sternentstehung waehrend der Entwicklung des Universums -

                           Star Formation during the evolution of the Universe

Master seminar in winter term 2021/2022, 2SWS

Lecturers: Henrik Beuther & Fabian Walter (beuther/walter at mpia.de)

Tuesday 9:15AM, Physikalisches Institut, Philosophenweg 12, Raum 105
First seminar October 19th, 2021

This is a mandatory advanced seminar for master students ("Masterpflichtseminar', MVSem) on selected topics in the field of star formation from the early universe to today.

Credit points (6CPs):
4 CPs for giving a presentation and attending the seminar,
2 CPs for a written report of the presentation.
Both will be graded.

This seminar is meant to  deepen and focus on various aspects important in star formation across cosmic times, and it will be held in english.
--> More details are given in the first seminar. No pre-registration is needed.

Potential seminar topics:

- Cosmic star formation history (Link)
- High-redshift star formation in the Atacama large millimetre/submillimetre array era (Link)
- UV luminosity functions at redshifts z~4 to z~10: 10000 galaxies from HST legacy fields (Link)
- A dust-obscured massive maximum starburst galaxy at redshift 6.34 (Link)
- Molecular gas and star formation in nearby galaxies (Link)
- A molecular star formation law in the atomic gas-dominated regime in nearby galaxies (Link)
- Formation of molecular clouds and global conditions for star formation (Link)
- The link between magnetic fields and cloud/star formation (Link1, Link2)
- The most complex molecules detected in the interstellar medium. (Link)
- From filamentary networks to dense cores in molecular clouds: toward a new paradigm of star formation (Link)
- The earliest stages of star and planet formation: core collapse and the formation of disks and outflows (Link)
- Accretion onto pre-main-sequence stars (Link)
- Water: from clouds to planets (Link)
