Dr. Paul Ho, at Harvard University, will concentrate on three                   problems associated with the formation of massive stars from                    molecular clouds:  (1) Spin-up and contraction of cloud fragments               in the early stages of star formation; (2) Formation and structure              of disks of material, especially in regions of outflowing gas; and              (3) Formation and evolution of cloud cores through interactions                 with shock fronts and stellar winds.  Dr. Ho's research is                      primarily observational, and he uses data on spectral lines of                  interstellar molecules at radio wavelengths to study the                        characteristics of the cloud cores.                                                                                                                             In the past few years, dense cores of interstellar molecular                    clouds have been shown to be closely associated with active star                formation.  Dr. Ho is concentrating his observational research                  efforts on the more massive cloud cores.  His studies are                       important in defining the latter stages of star formation and in                identifying the crucial mechanisms which control the star                       formation process.
