Abstract
Turbulence,
magnetic fields, thermal instability and gravity all play a role in the
formation of stars through processes that we are far from
understanding. The full understanding of this complex interplay of
non-linear physics is beyond theoretical grasp, and we have to turn to
observations and numerical simulations for guidance. I will
introduce this research field within the broader context of cosmic
magnetism. Next, I will focus presenting observations that
characterize the structure of the magnetized ISM. Last, I will
show how the statistical properties of the Planck dust polarization
maps relate and contribute to our understanding.
