Hot Molecular Cores and High Mass Star Formation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 September 2016
Abstract
This review covers hot cores in the context of high-mass star formation. After giving an overview of chemical processes and diversity during high-mass star formation, it reviews the ‘warm envelope’ phase which probably precedes the formation of hot cores. Some recent determinations of the cosmic-ray ionization rate are discussed, as well as recent evidence for hot cores around low-mass stars. Routes for future hot core research are outlined.
