Star Formation and Magnetic Field Amplification due to Galactic Spirals
Hector Robinson, James Wadsley, J. A. Sellwood +1
We use global MHD galaxy simulations to investigate the effects of spiral arms on the evolution of magnetic fields and star formation within a self-regulated interstellar medium (I…
On the relation between magnetic field strength and gas density in the interstellar medium: A multiscale analysis
D. J. Whitworth, S. Srinivasan, R. E. Pudritz +19
The magnetic field strength to gas density relation in the interstellar medium is of fundamental importance. We present and compare Bayesian analyses of the B-n relation for two co…
Regulating star formation in a magnetized disk galaxy
Hector Robinson, James Wadsley
We use high-resolution MHD simulations of isolated disk galaxies to investigate the co-evolution of magnetic fields with a self-regulated, star-forming interstellar medium (ISM). T…
Filamentary Hierarchies and Superbubbles: Galactic Multiscale MHD Simulations of GMC to Star Cluster Formation
Bo Zhao, Ralph E. Pudritz, Rachel Pillsworth +2
There is now abundant observational evidence that star formation is a highly dynamical process that connects filament hierarchies and supernova feedback from galaxy scale kpc filam…
