The thermodynamics of collapsing molecular cloud cores using smoothed particle hydrodynamics with radiative transfer
Stuart C. Whitehouse, Matthew R. Bate
We present the results of a series of calculations studying the collapse of molecular cloud cores performed using a three-dimensional smoothed particle hydr odynamics code with rad…
A faster algorithm for smoothed particle hydrodynamics with radiative transfer in the flux-limited diffusion approximation
Stuart C. Whitehouse, Matthew R. Bate, Joe J. Monaghan
We describe a new, faster implicit algorithm for solving the radiation hydrodynamics equations in the flux-limited diffusion approximation for smoothed particle hydrodynamics. This…
Binary systems and stellar mergers in massive star formation
Ian A. Bonnell, Matthew R. Bate
We present a model for the formation of high-mass close binary systems in the context of forming massive stars through gas accretion in the centres of stellar clusters. A low-mass…
Star formation in unbound giant molecular clouds: the origin of OB associations?
Paul C. Clark, Ian A. Bonnell, Hans Zinnecker +1
We investigate the formation of star clusters in an unbound GMC, where the supporting kinetic energy is twice as large as the cloud's self-gravity. This cloud manages to form a ser…
Photoionising feedback in star cluster formation
J. E. Dale, I. A. Bonnell, C. J. Clarke +1
We present the first ever hydrodynamic calculations of star cluster formation that incorporate the effect of feedback from ionising radiation. In our simulations, the ionising sour…
