Abstract

The understanding of the formation process of massive stars requires a detailed knowledge of the physical conditions of the cloud environment which is thought to play a critical role in determining the formation mechanism. In recent years there has been a rapid growth of observational and theoretical studies concerning the formation of massive stars. Here I review observational data gathered during the last few years which are providing key evidence concerning the physical processes that take place during the formation of massive stars.
