The relation between accretion rates and the initial mass function in hydrodynamical simulations of star formation

Th. Maschberger, I. A. Bonnell, C. J. Clarke +1

We analyse a hydrodynamical simulation of star formation. Sink particles in the simulations which represent stars show episodic growth, which is presumably accretion from a core th…

On the mass function of stars growing in a flocculent medium

Thomas Maschberger

Stars form in regions of very inhomogeneous densities and may have chaotic orbital motions. This leads to a time variation of the accretion rate, which will spread the masses over…

Scattering from dust in molecular clouds: Constraining the dust grain size distribution through near-infrared cloudshine and infrared coreshine

M. Andersen, J. Steinacker, W-F. Thi +3

Context. The largest grains (0.5-1 micron) in the interstellar size distribution are efficient in scattering near- and mid-infrared radiation. These wavelengths are therefore parti…

Gas lines from the 5-Myr old optically thin disk around HD141569A. Herschel observations and modeling

Wing-Fai Thi, Christophe Pinte, Eric Pantin +20

At the distance of 99-116 pc, HD141569A is one of the nearest HerbigAe stars that is surrounded by a tenuous disk, probably in transition between a massive primordial disk and a de…

Chemical modeling of the L1498 and L1517B prestellar cores: CO and HCO+ depletion

S. Maret, E. A Bergin, M. Tafalla

Prestellar cores exhibit a strong chemical differentiation, which is mainly caused by the freeze-out of molecules onto the grain surfaces. Understanding this chemical structure is…
