A large fraction of stars form in clusters containing high-mass stars, which subsequently influences the local and galaxy-wide environment. Fundamental questions about physics responsible for fragmenting molecular parsec-scale clumps into cores a few thousand astronomical units (au) are still open, that only statistically significant investigation with ALMA is able to address; instance: identification dominant agents determine core demographics, mass, spatial distribution as function...
