The role of the energy equation in the fragmentation of protostellar discs during stellar encounters
G. Lodato, F. Meru, C. Clarke +1
In this paper, we use high-resolution smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations to investigate the response of a marginally stable self-gravitating protostellar disc to a c…
Star formation bursts in isolated spiral galaxies
C. Clarke, D. Gittins
We study the response of the gaseous component of a galactic disc to the time dependent potential generated by N-body simulations of a spiral galaxy. The results show significant v…
The Monitor project: Rotation of low-mass stars in the open cluster M34
Jonathan Irwin, Suzanne Aigrain, Simon Hodgkin +5
We report on the results of a V and i-band time-series photometric survey of M34 (NGC 1039) using the Wide Field Camera (WFC) on the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), achieving better…
Disk Evolution in Young Binaries: from Observations to Theory
J. -L. Monin, C. J. Clarke, L. Prato +1
The formation of a binary system surrounded by disks is the most common outcome of stellar formation. Hence studying and understanding the formation and the evolution of binary sys…
The Jeans mass and the origin of the knee in the IMF
I. A. Bonnell, C. J. Clarke, M. R. Bate
We use numerical simulations of the fragmentation of a 1000 solar mass molecular cloud and the formation of a stellar cluster to study how the initial conditions for star formation…
Photoevaporation of protoplanetary discs II: evolutionary models and observable properties
R. D. Alexander, C. J. Clarke, J. E. Pringle
We present a new model for protoplanetary disc evolution. This model combines viscous evolution with photoevaporation of the disc, in a manner similar to Clarke, Gendrin & Sotomayo…
