Turbulence in Class 0 and Class I protostellar envelopes
D. Ward-Thompson, L. Hartmann, D. J. Nutter
We estimate the levels of turbulence in the envelopes of Class 0 and I protostars using a model based on measurements of the peak separation of double-peaked asymmetric line profil…
Simulating star formation in molecular cores II. The effects of different levels of turbulence
Simon P. Goodwin, Anthony P Whitworth, Derek Ward-Thompson
(Abridged) We explore, by means of a large ensemble of SPH simulations, how the level of turbulence affects the collapse and fragmentation of a star-forming core. All our simulated…
An explanation for the unusual IMF in Taurus
Simon P. Goodwin, A. P. Whitworth, Derek Ward-Thompson
In comparison with other well studied star formation regions, Taurus is unusual in several respects. (i) Its stellar initial mass function (IMF) peaks at relatively high mass ($\si…
