Brown Bag Seminar
Q-AOS Brown Bag Seminar Series The 221st Seminar "Cycle of the interstellar medium leading to the formation of stars and planets"
The Q-AOS Brown Bag Seminar Series will start every Wednesday at lunchtime from April 2021. The purpose of this webinar series is to provide opportunities not only to learn research related to SDGs in Asian and Oceanian regions, but also to expand your research network across different academic areas.
The webinar is free, available in English and Japanese, and open to everyone! We hope you all come and join us!

Abstract
Stars are building blocks of galaxies. Low mass stars, like our Sun, may host planets where life could emerge, and the most massive stars govern the evolution of galaxies through chemical enrichment and energy injection. Understanding how stars form and evolve will lead to a better description of the Universe as a whole.
Despite its importance, the basic question of how stars form is not well understood. The evolutin of the Universe is a result of continuous cycles of interchange of matter and energy between stars and the interstellar medium (made of gas and dust) that fills the space between stars. This interstellar medium is organized in networks of elongated matter structures, called filaments, where new stars form.
In this presentation, I will summarize recent theoretical and observational works proposing a comprehensive physical scenario for the formation of filaments, stars, and planets.
