Scientific paper

High-mass star formation is manifestly a phenomenon of the Galactic Plane. The process begins with pre-stellar cores, evolves to proto-stellar objects, and culminates in massive main-sequence stars. Because massive young stellar objects are deeply embedded, the radio, sub-mm, and far/mid-infrared spectral windows are the most revealing. Galactic plane surveys at these wavelengths trace hot and cold molecular gas, interstellar masers, warm dust, and ionized gas that are present during star formation.
