A fundamental question in astrophysics is whether the processes governing star formation are universal or depend on the physical conditions of their local galactic environment. The Milky Way and the Magellanic clouds offer ideal laboratories to explore this question, as the gas conditions in them span up to orders of m...

Star formation is both a multi-scale and highly dynamic process. It is regulated by the combination of gravity, turbulence, feedback and magnetic fields, which connect more than six orders of magnitude in scale: from large molecular clouds (several 10s to 100s pc in size) down to protoplanetary disks (a few 10s to 100s...

How does a star's birth environment set the mass, angular momentum and chemical complexity delivered to its planet-forming disk, and thereby whether it builds planets, brown dwarfs or stellar companions? This requires following material from the cloud to the sub-au to few-au scales where infalling gas, magnetized winds...
