Radiative, magnetic and numerical feedbacks on small-scale fragmentation
Benoit Commercon, Patrick Hennebelle, Edouard Audit +2
Radiative feedback and magnetic field are understood to have a strong impact on the protostellar collapse. We present high resolution numerical calculations of the collapse of a 1…
Star formation: statistical measure of the correlation between the prestellar core mass function and the stellar initial mass function
Gilles Chabrier, Patrick Hennebelle
We present a simple statistical analysis of recent numerical simulations exploring the correlation between the core mass function obtained from the fragmentation of a molecular clo…
Theories of the initial mass function
Patrick Hennebelle, Gilles Chabrier
We review the various theories which have been proposed along the years to explain the origin of the stellar initial mass function. We pay particular attention to four models, name…
The thermally-unstable warm neutral medium: key for modeling the interstellar medium
Ayesha Begum, Snezana Stanimirovic, W. M. Goss +3
We present 21-cm absorption measurements towards 12 radio continuum sources with previously identified thermally-unstable warm neutral medium (WNM). These observations were obtaine…
Outflows and mass accretion in collapsing dense cores with misaligned rotation axis and magnetic field
Andrea Ciardi, Patrick Hennebelle
Outflows and jets are intimately related to the formation of stars, and play an important role in redistributing mass, energy and angular momentum within the dense core and parent…
Nitrogen hydrides in the cold envelope of IRAS16293-2422
Pierre Hily-Blant, Sébastien Maret, Aurore Bacmann +4
Nitrogen is the fifth most abundant element in the Universe, yet the gas-phase chemistry of N-bearing species remains poorly understood. Nitrogen hydrides are key molecules of nitr…
