Statistical analysis of the mass-to-flux ratio in turbulent cores: effects of magnetic field reversals and dynamo amplification

Erik Bertram, Christoph Federrath, Robi Banerjee +1

We study the mass-to-flux ratio (M/Φ) of clumps and cores in simulations of supersonic, magnetohydrodynamical turbulence for different initial magnetic field strengths. We investig…

The s process in asymptotic giant branch stars of low metallicity and the composition of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars

Maria Lugaro, Amanda I. Karakas, Richard J. Stancliffe +1

We present models for the slow neutron-capture process (s process) in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of metallicity [Fe/H]=-2.3 and masses 0.9 Msun to 6 Msun. We encountered d…

Importance of the Initial Conditions for Star Formation - III: Statistical Properties of Embedded Protostellar Clusters

Philipp Girichidis, Christoph Federrath, Richard Allison +2

We investigate the formation of protostellar clusters during the collapse of dense molecular cloud cores with a focus on the evolution of potential and kinetic energy, the degree o…

Importance of the Initial Conditions for Star Formation - II. Fragmentation Induced Starvation and Accretion Shielding

Philipp Girichidis, Christoph Federrath, Robi Banerjee +1

We investigate the impact of different initial conditions for the initial density profile and the initial turbulence on the formation process of protostellar clusters. We study the…

Numerical simulations of conversion to Alfven waves in sunspots

Elena Khomenko, Paul Cally

We study the conversion of fast magneto-acoustic waves to Alfven waves by means of 2.5D numerical simulations in a sunspot-like magnetic configuration. A fast, essentially acoustic…

Evolution and Nucleosynthesis of AGB stars in Three Magellanic Cloud Clusters

D. Kamath, A. I. Karakas, P. R. Wood

We present stellar evolutionary sequences for asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Magellanic Cloud clusters NGC 1978, NGC 1846 and NGC 419. The new stellar models for the th…
