This thesis presents an in-depth, high-resolution observational
study on the very beginning of the formation process: the
fragmentation of dense molecular clouds known as infrared dark
clouds (IRDCs). Using the Submillimeter Array (SMA) and Very Large
Array (VLA) radio interferometers, the author has discovered a
common picture of hierarchical fragmentation that challenges some
of the leading theoretical models and suggests a new,
observation-driven understanding of how massive star formation in
clustered environments may begin: it is initiated by the
hierarchical fragmentation of a dense filament from 10 pc down to
0.01 pc, and the stellar mass buildup is simultaneously fed by
hierarchical accretion at similar scales. The new scenario points
out the importance of turbulence and filamentary structure, which
are now receiving increasing attention and further tests from both
observers and theorists.
