Abstract :
Star
formation is a fundamental process in the universe, shaping the structure of
our and other galaxies. The birth of stars is triggered by the gravitational
collapse and fragmentation of cold molecular clouds. The talk will summarize
the general physical principles of the star formation process. It will discuss
global properties such as the star formation efficiency and the initial mass
function. In addition, it will also demonstrate the power of adaptive optics in
revealing the structure of star-forming regions and will show new exciting
results obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory.
