Bridging Theory and Observation: Synthetic Far-infrared Insights into Star Formation Efficiency
Alexander Escamilla, Michael Y. Grudić, Anna L. Rosen
The star formation efficiency per free-fall time () quantifies how efficiently giant molecular clouds (GMCs) convert gas into stars and is often observed to be orders o…
FORGE'd in FIRE III: The IMF in Quasar Accretion Disks from STARFORGE
Philip F. Hopkins, Michael Y. Grudic, Kyle Kremer +3
Recently, we demonstrated self-consistent formation of strongly-magnetized quasar accretion disks (QADs) from cosmological radiation-magnetohydrodynamic-thermochemical galaxy-star…
Stellar Populations in STARFORGE: The Origin and Evolution of Star Clusters and Associations
Juan P. Farias, Stella S. R. Offner, Michael Y. Grudić +2
Most stars form in highly clustered environments within molecular clouds, but eventually disperse into the distributed stellar field population. Exactly how the stellar distributio…
What Sets the Star Formation Rate of Molecular Clouds? The Density Distribution as a Fingerprint of Compression and Expansion Rates
Sabrina M. Appel, Blakesley Burkhart, Vadim A. Semenov +3
We use a suite of 3D simulations of star-forming molecular clouds, with and without stellar feedback, magnetic fields, and driven turbulence, to study the compression and expansion…
Effects of the environment on the multiplicity properties of stars in the STARFORGE simulations
Dávid Guszejnov, Aman N. Raju, Stella S. R. Offner +4
Most observed stars are part of a multiple star system, but the formation of such systems and the role of environment and various physical processes is still poorly understood. We…
Effects of the environment and feedback physics on the initial mass function of stars in the STARFORGE simulations
Dávid Guszejnov, Michael Y. Grudić, Stella S. R. Offner +3
One of the key mysteries of star formation is the origin of the stellar initial mass function (IMF). The IMF is observed to be nearly universal in the Milky Way and its satellites,…
Cluster assembly and the origin of mass segregation in the STARFORGE simulations
Dávid Guszejnov, Carleen Markey, Stella S. R. Offner +4
Stars form in dense, clustered environments, where feedback from newly formed stars eventually ejects the gas, terminating star formation and leaving behind one or more star cluste…
The dynamics and outcome of star formation with jets, radiation, winds, and supernovae in concert
Michael Y. Grudić, Dávid Guszejnov, Stella S. R. Offner +4
We analyze the first giant molecular cloud (GMC) simulation to follow the formation of individual stars and their feedback from jets, radiation, winds, and supernovae, using the ST…
Less wrong: a more realistic initial condition for simulations of turbulent molecular clouds
Henry B. Lane, Michael Y. Grudić, Dávid Guszejnov +3
Simulations of isolated giant molecular clouds (GMCs) are an important tool for studying the dynamics of star formation, but their turbulent initial conditions (ICs) are uncertain.…
The Effects of Magnetic Fields and Outflow Feedback on the Shape and Evolution of the Density PDF in Turbulent Star-Forming Clouds
Sabrina M. Appel, Blakesley Burkhart, Vadim A. Semenov +2
Using a suite of 3D hydrodynamical simulations of star-forming molecular clouds, we investigate how the density probability distribution function (PDF) changes when including gravi…
Dust in the Wind with Resonant Drag Instabilities: I. The Dynamics of Dust-Driven Outflows in GMCs and HII Regions
Philip F. Hopkins, Anna L. Rosen, Jonathan Squire +4
Radiation-dust driven outflows, where radiation pressure on dust grains accelerates gas, occur in many astrophysical environments. Almost all previous numerical studies of these sy…
Continuity of accretion from clumps to Class 0 high-mass protostars in SDC335
A. Avison, G. A. Fuller, N. Peretto +6
The IRDC SDC335.579-0.292 (SDC335) is a massive star-forming cloud found to be globally collapsing towards one of the most massive star forming cores in the Galaxy. SDC335 hosts th…
Evolution of Stellar Feedback in HII Regions
Grace M. Olivier, Laura A. Lopez, Anna L. Rosen +4
Stellar feedback is needed to produce realistic giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and galaxies in simulations, but due to limited numerical resolution, feedback must be implemented usi…
Winds in Star Clusters Drive Kolmogorov Turbulence
Monica Gallegos-Garcia, Blakesley Burkhart, Anna Rosen +2
Intermediate and massive stars drive fast and powerful isotropic winds that interact with the winds of nearby stars in star clusters and the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM).…
