By now, it is well established that massive stars form in giant molecular clouds. Numerous studies have shown that star formation, instead of being spread uniformly throughout molecular clouds, occurs in dense condensations located within these clouds. The physical conditions in these condensations are therefore critical input parameters for any theory of star formation.
