A high-mass protobinary system with spatially resolved circumstellar accretion disks and circumbinary disk
Stefan Kraus, Jacques Kluska, Alexander Kreplin +9
High-mass multiples might form via fragmentation of self-gravitational disks or alternative scenarios such as disk-assisted capture. However, only few observational constraints exi…
The Science Case for the Planet Formation Imager (PFI)
Stefan Kraus, John Monnier, Tim Harries +16
Among the most fascinating and hotly-debated areas in contemporary astrophysics are the means by which planetary systems are assembled from the large rotating disks of gas and dust…
High-resolution simulations of stellar collisions between equal-mass main-sequence stars in globular clusters
Alison Sills, Tim Adams, Melvyn Davies +1
We performed high-resolution simulations of two stellar collisions relevant for stars in globular clusters. We considered one head-on collision and one off-axis collision between t…
Stellar, Brown Dwarf, and Multiple Star Properties from Hydrodynamical Simulations of Star Cluster Formation
Matthew Bate
We report the statistical properties of stars, brown dwarfs and multiple systems obtained from the largest hydrodynamical simulation of star cluster formation to date that resolves…
Substellar Multiplicity Throughout the Ages
Daniella Bardalez Gagliuffi, Kimberly Ward-Duong, Jacqueline Faherty +11
Substellar multiplicity is a key outcome of the formation process. The biggest challenge for the next decade will be to distinguish between the formation history, environmental con…
Overview of the Massive Young Star-Forming Complex Study in Infrared and X-ray (MYStIX) Project
Eric D. Feigelson, Leisa K. Townsley, Patrick S. Broos +16
MYStIX (Massive Young Star-Forming Complex Study in Infrared and Xray) seeks to characterize 20 OB-dominated young clusters and their environs at distances d < 4 kpc using imaging…
The effect of magnetic fields on star cluster formation
Daniel Price, Matthew Bate
We examine the effect of magnetic fields on star cluster formation by performing simulations following the self-gravitating collapse of a turbulent molecular cloud to form stars in…
Hydrodynamical simulations of a cloud of interacting gas fragments
David Gittins, Cathie Clarke, Matthew Bate
We present a full hydrodynamical investigation of a system of self-contained, interacting gas `cloudlets'. Calculations are performed using SPH, and cloudlets are allowed to collid…
A modern-day Mars climate in the Met Office Unified Model: dry simulations
Danny McCulloch, Denis E. Sergeev, Nathan Mayne +5
We present results from the Met Office Unified Model (UM), a world-leading climate and weather model, adapted to simulate a dry Martian climate. We detail the adaptation of the bas…
