The Earliest Stages of Massive Clustered Star Formation: Fragmentation of Infrared Dark Clouds

This thesis presents an in-depth, high-resolution observational study on the very beginning of the formation process: the fragmentation of dense molecular clouds known as infrared dark clouds (IRDCs). Using the Submillimeter Array (SMA) and Very Large Array (VLA) radio interferometers, the author ha...
