Protostellar collapse induced by compression. II: rotation and fragmentation
P. Hennebelle, A. Whitworth, S. Cha +1
We investigate numerically and semi-analytically the collapse of low-mass, rotating prestellar cores. Initially, the cores are in approximate equilibrium with low rotation (the ini…
Simulating star formation in molecular cloud cores I. The influence of low levels of turbulence on fragmentation and multiplicity
Simon P Goodwin, A P Whitworth, D. Ward-Thompson
We present the results of an ensemble of simulations of the collapse and fragmentation of dense star-forming cores. We show that even with very low levels of turbulence the outcome…
Triggered massive-star formation at the border of the HII region Sh 104
L. Deharveng, B. Lefloch, A. Zavagno +4
We present millimetre-line imaging of the Galactic HII region Sh 104. We show that it is surrounded by a ring of molecular gas and dust. Four large molecular condensations are regu…
Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer in Embedded Prestellar Cores
D. Stamatellos, A. P. Whitworth
We implement a Monte Carlo radiative transfer method, that uses a large number of monochromatic luminosity packets to represent the radiation transported through a system. These pa…
Radiative Transfer in Prestellar Cores: A Monte Carlo Approach
D. Stamatellos, A. P. Whitworth
We use our Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to study non-embedded prestellar cores and cores that are embedded at the centre of a molecular cloud. Our study indicates that the t…
