Abstract

The Herschel/HOBYS key program allows to statistically study the formation of 10 − 20 M_⊙ stars. It reveals high-density cloud filaments of several pc³, which are forming clusters of OB-type stars. It also strongly suggests and higher-angular resolution images tend to confirm that high-mass prestellar cores do not exist.
