• We present a radiation transfer model consistently developed for a core in high pressure environment forming a massive star through core accretion. We compare this model to the massive protostar G35.2-0.74N, including SOFIA observations at 30 and 40μm. Good agreement is achieved, showing that a ~30M⊙ protostar is forming from a high surface density core via relatively ordered collapse and accretion, driving powerful outflows. This result supports the Core Accretion theory which predicts that massive stars form similarly to low-mass stars.
