Hayashi and the Thermal Physics of Star-Forming Clouds
Richard B. Larson
This brief historical review highlights the early work of Hayashi and his associates on the thermal physics of star-forming clouds, as summarized in the temperature-density diagram…
Historical Perspective on Computational Star Formation
Richard B. Larson
This contribution contains the introductory historical remarks that I presented at IAU Symposium 270 on "Computational Star Formation" held in Barcelona, Spain, May 31 - June 4, 20…
The Role of Column Density in the Formation of Stars and Black Holes
Richard B. Larson
The stellar mass in disk galaxies scales approximately with the fourth power of the rotation velocity, and the masses of the central black holes in galactic nuclei scale approximat…
Angular Momentum and the Formation of Stars and Black Holes
Richard B. Larson
The formation of compact objects like stars and black holes is strongly constrained by the requirement that nearly all of the initial angular momentum of the diffuse material from…
Stability of Galactic Gaseous Disks and the Formation of Massive Clusters
Andres Escala, Richard B. Larson
We study gravitational instabilities in disks, with special attention to the most massive clumps that form because they are expected to be the progenitors of globular-type clusters…
