Modes of Star Formation in Finite Molecular Clouds
A. Pon, D. Johnstone, F. Heitsch
We analytically investigate the modes of gravity-induced star formation possible in idealized finite molecular clouds where global collapse competes against both local Jeans instab…
Gravity or turbulence? II. Evolving column density PDFs in molecular clouds
Javier Ballesteros-Paredes, Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni, Adriana Gazol +3
It has been recently shown that molecular clouds do not exhibit a unique shape for the column density probability distribution function (Npdf). Instead, clouds without star formati…
Flow-Driven Cloud Formation and Fragmentation: Results From Eulerian and Lagrangian Simulations
Fabian Heitsch, Thorsten Naab, Stefanie Walch
The fragmentation of shocked flows in a thermally bistable medium provides a natural mechanism to form turbulent cold clouds as precursors to molecular clouds. Yet because of the l…
Star Clusters in M31: II. Old Cluster Metallicities and Ages from Hectospec Data
Nelson Caldwell, Ricardo Schiavon, Heather Morrison +2
We present new high signal-to-noise spectroscopic data on the M31 globular cluster system, obtained with the Hectospec multifiber spectrograph on the 6.5m MMT. More than 300 cluste…
