Observational Bias and Young Massive Cluster Characterisation I. 2D Perspective Effects

Anne S. M. Buckner, Kong You Liow, Clare L. Dobbs +2

Understanding the formation and evolution of high mass star clusters requires comparisons between theoretical and observational data to be made. Unfortunately, while the full phase…

Grouped star formation: converting sink particles to stars in hydrodynamical simulations

K. Y. Liow, S. Rieder, C. L. Dobbs +1

Modelling star formation and resolving individual stars in numerical simulations of molecular clouds and galaxies is highly challenging. Simulations on very small scales can be suf…

The formation and early evolution of embedded star clusters in spiral galaxies

Steven Rieder, Clare Dobbs, Thomas Bending +2

We present Ekster, a new method for simulating star clusters from birth in a live galaxy simulation that combines the smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method Phantom with the…

The role of collision speed, cloud density, and turbulence in the formation of young massive clusters via cloud-cloud collisions

K. Y. Liow, C. L. Dobbs

Young massive clusters (YMCs) are recently formed astronomical objects with unusually high star formation rates. We propose the collision of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) as a like…

The formation of young massive clusters by colliding flows

C. L. Dobbs, K. Y. Liow, S. Rieder

Young massive clusters (YMCs) are the most intense regions of star formation in galaxies. Formulating a model for YMC formation whilst at the same time meeting the constraints from…
