This points to a multi-scale accretion process in MSF. Investigating the role of gravity and turbulence in the early stages of star formation, including massive stars, is one of the hot topics in star formation research. In this context, we analysed the fragmentation and dynamics of dense gas structures down to ~2000 au scale in the immediate surroundings of a massive young stellar object (MYSO) W42-MME, using the high-resolution (0″.31 × 0″.25) Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) dust continuum and molecular line data. We performed a dendrogram analysis of H13CO+(4-3) line data to study multi-scale structures and their spatio-kinematic properties. Our results reveal 19 dense structures, including 12 leaves and 7 branches. These structures exhibit transonic-supersonic gas motions (1 |
