From Filamentary Networks to Dense Cores in Molecular Clouds: Toward a New Paradigm for Star Formation
Philippe André, James Di Francesco, Derek Ward-Thompson +3
Recent studies of the nearest star-forming clouds of the Galaxy at submillimeter wavelengths with the Herschel Space Observatory have provided us with unprecedented images of the i…
Cluster formation in molecular clouds: I. stellar populations, star formation rates, and ionizing radiation
Corey S. Howard, Ralph E. Pudritz, William E. Harris
We present a model for the radiative output of star clusters in the process of star formation suitable for use in hydrodynamical simulations of radiative feedback. Gas in a clump,…
Planetary Populations in the Mass-Period Diagram: A Statistical Treatment of Exoplanet Formation and the Role of Planet Traps
Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Ralph E. Pudritz
The rapid growth in the number of known exoplanets has revealed the existence of several distinct planetary populations in the observed mass-period diagram. Two of the most surpris…
Overview of the Massive Young Star-Forming Complex Study in Infrared and X-ray (MYStIX) Project
Eric D. Feigelson, Leisa K. Townsley, Patrick S. Broos +16
MYStIX (Massive Young Star-Forming Complex Study in Infrared and Xray) seeks to characterize 20 OB-dominated young clusters and their environs at distances d < 4 kpc using imaging…
Disk Inhomogeneities and the Origins of Planetary System Architectures and Observational Properties
Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Ralph E. Pudritz
Recent high-resolution observations show that protoplanetary disks have various kinds of structural properties or inhomogeneities. These are the consequence of a mixture of a numbe…
Giant Molecular Cloud Formation in Disk Galaxies: Characterizing Simulated versus Observed Cloud Catalogues
Samantha M. Benincasa, Elizabeth J. Tasker, Ralph E. Pudritz +1
We present the results of a study of simulated Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) formed in a Milky Way-type galactic disk with a flat rotation curve. This simulation, which does not in…
