SUMMARY:Shedding Light on the Dark Ages of Star Formation: Dense gas kinem
 atics and core formation - Nicolas Peretto (University of Cardiff)
DTSTART:20140429T153000Z

CONTACT:David Titterington
DESCRIPTION:The far-infrared Herschel space observatory and the (sub-) mil
 limetre interferometer ALMA are giving us the opportunity to probe the sky
  like never before.  Mostly thanks to Herschel\, it has been realised that
  cold interstellar clouds are permeated with complex networks of filaments
 .  The question of the role played by such filaments in the process of sta
 r formation is still open. In this talk I will present recent IRAM 30m and
  ALMA observations of two fiamentary Infrared Dark Clouds.  I will discuss
  the impact of cloud morphology and kinematics on the determination of cor
 e masses\, and how these observations can fit in the context of a universa
 l star formation process.\n
