| Abstract: | The advent of ALMA is bound to improve our knowledge of OB star formation dramatically. Here, we present an overview of this
topic outlining how high angular resolution and sensitivity may contribute to shed light on the structure of high-mass star
forming regions and hence on the process itself of massive star formation. The impact of this new generation instrument will
range from establishing the mass function of pre-stellar cores inside IR-dark clouds, to investigating the kinematics of the
gas from which OB stars are built up, to assessing or ruling out the existence of circumstellar accretion disks in these objects. |
