The impact of the turbulent Mach number on star formation and the initial mass function

Sajay Sunny Mathew, Christoph Federrath, Amit Seta

Turbulence regulates star formation by influencing the density structure and fragmentation of molecular clouds, and therefore it is expected to play a key role in setting the initi…

Stellar spin in young star clusters: comparison between simulations and observations

Giacomo Cordoni, Sajay Sunny Mathew, Christoph Federrath

The angular momentum evolution of stars is crucial for understanding the formation and evolution of stars and star clusters. Using high-resolution magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simul…

The influence of the cloud virial parameter on the initial mass function

Sajay Sunny Mathew, Christoph Federrath, Amit Seta

Crucial for star formation is the interplay between gravity and turbulence. The observed cloud virial parameter, , which is the ratio of twice the turbulent kinet…

Wide-binary eccentricity distribution in young star clusters: dependence on the binary separation and mass

Sajay Sunny Mathew, Siyao Xu, Christoph Federrath +2

We study the wide-binary eccentricity () distribution in young star clusters and the role of turbulence in setting the form of the distribution using magnetohydrodynamical (…

The role of the turbulence driving mode for the Initial Mass Function

Sajay Sunny Mathew, Christoph Federrath, Amit Seta

Turbulence is a critical ingredient for star formation, yet its role for the initial mass function (IMF) is not fully understood. Here we perform magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simula…

The Velocity Statistics of Turbulent Clouds in the Presence of Gravity, Magnetic fields, Radiation, and Outflow Feedback

Yue Hu, Christoph Federrath, Siyao Xu +1

The interaction of turbulence, magnetic fields, self-gravity, and stellar feedback within molecular clouds is crucial for understanding star formation. We study the effects of self…

The IMF and multiplicity of stars from gravity, turbulence, magnetic fields, radiation and outflow feedback

Sajay Sunny Mathew, Christoph Federrath

We perform a series of three-dimensional, magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of star cluster formation including gravity, turbulence, magnetic fields, stellar radiative heatin…

Implementation of stellar heating feedback in simulations of star cluster formation: effects on the initial mass function

Sajay Sunny Mathew, Christoph Federrath

Explaining the initial mass function (IMF) of stars is a long-standing problem in astrophysics. The number of complex mechanisms involved in the process of star cluster formation,…
