Dependence of the Star Formation Efficiency on the Parameters of Molecular Cloud Formation Simulations
Yetli Rosas-Guevara, Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni, Gilberto C. Gomez +1
We investigate the response of the star formation efficiency (SFE) to the main parameters of simulations of molecular cloud formation by the collision of warm diffuse medium (WNM)…
High- and Low-Mass Star Forming Regions from Hierarchical Gravitational Fragmentation. High local Star Formation Rates with Low Global Efficiencies
Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni, Gilberto C. Gomez, A. Katharina Jappsen +2
We investigate the properties of "star forming regions" in a previously published numerical simulation of molecular cloud formation out of compressive motions in the warm neutral a…
Algorithmic comparisons of decaying, isothermal, supersonic turbulence
S. Kitsionas, C. Federrath, R. Klessen +10
Contradicting results have been reported in the literature with respect to the performance of the numerical techniques employed for the study of supersonic turbulence. We aim at ch…
Star Formation at Very Low Metallicity. V. The Greater Importance of Initial Conditions Compared to Metallicity Thresholds
A. -K. Jappsen, M. -M. Mac Low, S. C. O. Glover +2
The formation of the first stars out of metal-free gas appears to result in stars at least an order of magnitude more massive than in the present-day case. We here consider what co…
The formation of the first galaxies and the transition to low-mass star formation
Thomas H. Greif, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Jarrett L. Johnson +6
The formation of the first galaxies at redshifts z ~ 10-15 signaled the transition from the simple initial state of the universe to one of ever increasing complexity. We here revie…
Massive Star Forming Regions: Turbulent Support or Global Collapse?
Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes, Ralf S. Klessen +1
We present preliminary numerical evidence that the physical conditions in high-mass star forming regions can arise from global gravitational infall, with the velocity dispersions b…
