Comparing simulations of ionisation triggered star formation and observations in RCW 120
S. Walch, A. Whitworth, T. Bisbas +2
Massive clumps within the swept-up shells of bubbles, like that surrounding the galactic HII region RCW 120, have been interpreted in terms of the Collect and Collapse (C&C) mechan…
A natural formation scenario for misaligned and short-period eccentric extrasolar planets
Ingo Thies, Pavel Kroupa, Simon P. Goodwin +2
Recent discoveries of strongly misaligned transiting exoplanets pose a challenge to the established planet formation theory which assumes planetary systems to form and evolve in is…
The initial conditions of isolated star formation - X. A suggested evolutionary diagram for prestellar cores
R. J. Simpson, D. Johnstone, D. Nutter +2
We propose an evolutionary path for prestellar cores on the radius-mass diagram, which is analogous to stellar evolutionary paths on the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram. Using James Cl…
Radiation driven implosion and triggered star formation
Thomas G. Bisbas, Richard Wunsch, Anthony P. Whitworth +2
We present simulations of initially stable isothermal clouds exposed to ionising radiation from a discrete external source, and identify the conditions that lead to radiatively dri…
The importance of episodic accretion for low-mass star formation
Dimitris Stamatellos, Anthony Whitworth, David Hubber
A star acquires much of its mass by accreting material from a disc. Accretion is probably not continuous but episodic. We have developed a method to include the effects of episodic…
SEREN - A new SPH code for star and planet formation simulations
D. A. Hubber, C. P. Batty, A. McLeod +1
We present SEREN, a new hybrid Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics and N-body code designed to simulate astrophysical processes such as star and planet formation. It is written in Fort…
