Simulating star formation in molecular cloud cores IV. The role of turbulence and thermodynamics
R. E. Attwood, S. P. Goodwin, D. Stamatellos +1
We perform SPH simulations of the collapse and fragmentation of low-mass cores having different initial levels of turbulence (alpha_turb=0.05,0.10,0.25). We use a new treatment of…
The properties of brown dwarfs and low-mass hydrogen-burning stars formed by disc fragmentation
Dimitris Stamatellos, Anthony P. Whitworth
We suggest that a high proportion of brown dwarfs are formed by gravitational fragmentation of massive extended discs around Sun-like stars. Such discs should arise frequently, but…
The formation of brown dwarfs and low-mass stars by disc fragmentation
Dimitris Stamatellos, Anthony P. Whitworth
We suggest that a high proportion of brown dwarfs are formed by gravitational fragmentation of massive, extended discs around Sun-like stars. We argue that such discs should arise…
Introducing a Hybrid Method of Radiative Transfer in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
Duncan Forgan, Ken Rice, Dimitris Stamatellos +1
We present a new method of incorporating radiative transfer into Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). There have been many recent attempts at radiative transfer in SPH (Stamatell…
SPH simulations of star/planet formation triggered by cloud-cloud collisions
Spyridon Kitsionas, Anthony P. Whitworth, Ralf S. Klessen
We present results of hydrodynamic simulations of star formation triggered by cloud-cloud collisions. During the early stages of star formation, low-mass objects form by gravitatio…
