Virial Ratio: Direct Evaluation from Molecular Cloud Data and the Challenges of Improving Accuracy
Ayushi Singh, Christopher D. Matzner, Peter H. Jumper
The virial ratio between kinetic and gravitational terms provides key insight into the balance of forces that confine a molecular cloud, but the clumpy and filamentary structures o…
Capture and Escape: The Dependence of Radiation Forces on Clumping in Dusty Envelopes
Peter H. Jumper, Christopher D. Matzner
Dust barriers effectively capture the photon momentum of a central light source, but low-density channels, along with re-emission at longer wavelengths, enhance its escape. We use…
Radiation Forces on Dust Envelopes
Peter H. Jumper, Christopher D. Matzner
We address in detail the radiation forces on spherical dust envelopes around luminous stars, and numerical solutions for these forces, as a first step toward more general dust geom…
Star cluster formation with stellar feedback and large-scale inflow
Christopher D. Matzner, Peter H. Jumper
During star cluster formation, ongoing mass accretion is resisted by stellar feedback in the form of protostellar outflows from the low-mass stars and photo-ionization and radiatio…
Shaping the Brown Dwarf Desert: Predicting the Primordial Brown Dwarf Binary Distributions from Turbulent Fragmentation
Peter H. Jumper, Robert T. Fisher
The formation of brown dwarfs (BDs) poses a key challenge to star formation theory. The observed dearth of nearby ( AU) brown dwarf companions to solar-mass stars, known as…
