}One of the key problems in star formation research is to determine the role of magnetic fields. Starting from the atomic intercloud medium which has density n H ~ 1 cm–3, gas must accumulate from a volume several hundred pc across in order to form a typical molecular cloud. Star formation usually occurs in cloud cores, which have linear sizes below 1 pc and densities n H2 > 105 cm–3. With current technologies, it is hard to probe magnetic fields at scales lying between the accumulation length… CONTINUE READING
