Abstract: Stellar growth Astrophysicists have worked out a robust model of star formation for low-mass stars with masses of about one solar mass or less. But for high-mass 'early type' stars things are less clear. Cesaroni et al. review recent developments in the field. The answer, it seems, lies in circumstellar accretion disks. And rotational motions detected in the gases around young high-mass stars suggest that non-spherical accretion is part of the recipe.
