Scientific paper

We review observations of the SMA telescope that have had a large impact in the field of Galactic star formation. We divide the subject into the origin of low-mass and high-mass stars, and we focus on the subjects of protostellar collapse and outflow. We conclude that the SMA indicates that (a) magnetic fields have a stronger influence in controlling star formation than interstellar turbulence, (b) until the appearance of H II regions, high-mass star formation is just a scaled-up version of low-mass star formation, and (c) the basic drivers for bipolar outflows originate near the inner edges of the accretion disks that surround young stellar objects.
