The W51 cloud complex is one of the best laboratories in our Galaxy to study high-mass star formation. At a distance of about 5 kpc, it is the closest region containing a high-mass protocluster, and it has two. The cloud includes a long infrared-dark cloud, is interacting with a supernova remnant, and contains a variety of unique massive protostellar sources. This article is an observational review of the region.

  1. ALMA-IMF XX: Core fragmentation in the W51 high-mass star-forming region

    astro-ph.GA 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0

    In W51, massive cores contain more and brighter sub-fragments (PPOs), and these fragments are typically heavier than the thermal Jeans mass of their parent core.
