Our Knowledge of High-Mass Star Formation at the Dawn of Herschel
Frédérique Motte, Patrick Hennebelle
We review the theories and observations of high-mass star formation emphasizing the differences with those of low-mass star formation. We hereafter describe the progress expected t…
From the warm magnetized atomic medium to molecular clouds
P. Hennebelle, R. Banerjee, E. Vazquez-Semadeni +2
{It has recently been proposed that giant molecular complexes form at the sites where streams of diffuse warm atomic gas collide at transonic velocities.} {We study the global stat…
Analytical theory for the initial mass function: CO clumps and prestellar cores
Patrick Hennebelle, Gilles Chabrier
We derive an analytical theory of the prestellar core initial mass function based on an extension of the Press-Schechter statistical formalism. With the same formalism, we also obt…
Protostellar collapse: A comparison between SPH and AMR calculations
Benoit Commercon, Patrick Hennebelle, Edouard Audit +2
The development of parallel supercomputers allows today the detailed study of the collapse and the fragmentation of prestellar cores with increasingly accurate numerical simulation…
Diffuse interstellar medium and the formation of molecular clouds
P. Hennebelle, M. -M. Mac Low, E. Vazquez-Semadeni
(Abridged) The formation of molecular clouds (MCs) from the diffuse interstellar gas appears to be a necessary step for star formation, as young stars invariably occur within them.…
Magnetic processes in a collapsing dense core. II Fragmentation. Is there a fragmentation crisis ?
P. Hennebelle, R. Teyssier
Abridged. A large fraction of stars are found in binary systems. It is therefore important for our understanding of the star formation process, to investigate the fragmentation of…
