Description
Star formation processes are important over a huge range of physical scales, from extragalactic star formation via large molecular clouds down to the scales of individual protostellar disks around stars. Linking these scales is crucial for a general understanding of star formation and the interstellar medium. I will set into context results from the nearby galaxy NGC3627 with large-scale clouds in the Milky Way and the fragmentation and disk formation processes within individual high-mass star-forming regions.
