| Massive Infrared-Quiet Dense Cores: Unveiling the Initial Conditions of High-Mass Star Formation |
| F. Motte, S. Bontemps, N. Schneider, P. Schilke, K. M. Menten |
As Pr. Th. Henning said at the conference, cold precursors of high-mass stars are now “hot topics”. We here propose some observational criteria to identify massive infrared-quiet dense cores which can host the high-mass analogs of Class 0 protostars and pre-stellar condensations. We also show how far-infrared to millimeter imaging surveys of entire complexes forming OB stars are starting to unveil the initial conditions of high-mass star formation. |
