Supernova origin of galactic turbulence revealed by superbubbles
Fanyi Meng, Chao-Wei Tsai, Jingwen Wu +13
Supernovae (SNe) are among the leading candidates for powering galactic-scale turbulence. SNe drive expanding shells of neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) known as superbubbles. Due to t…
Conditions for planetesimal formation via the streaming instability persist under turbulence driven by magnetorotational instability
Linn E. J. Eriksson, Ziyan Xu, Jeonghoon Lim +3
Strong dust clumping by streaming instability (SI) is the leading proposed mechanism for forming planetesimals, the building blocks of terrestrial planets and giant-planet cores. T…
Transferring Data from a Voronoi Mesh to an Adaptive Cartesian Grid in Pursuit of Self-consistent Top-down Star Formation
Sean C. Lewis, Brooke Polak, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +5
Unstructured Voronoi mesh simulations offer many advantages for simulating self-gravitating gas dynamics on galactic scales. Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) can be a powerful tool f…
Protostellar Jets in Star Cluster Formation and Evolution: I. Implementation and Initial Results
Sabrina M. Appel, Blakesley Burkhart, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +8
Stars form in clusters from the gravitational collapse of giant molecular clouds, which is opposed by a variety of physical processes, including stellar feedback. The interplay bet…
The Importance of Tidal Forces in Molecular Cloud Dynamics
JinWoo Lee, Alexa Saur, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +1
We investigate the role of tidal forces in molecular cloud formation by examining how apparent boundedness, as diagnosed by the classical virial parameter, relates to the actual gr…
Aeos: Transport of Metals from Minihalos following Population III Stellar Feedback
Jennifer Mead, Kaley Brauer, Greg L. Bryan +7
We investigate how stellar feedback from the first stars (Population III) distributes metals through the interstellar and intergalactic medium using the star-by-star cosmological h…
