Magnetic fields in star forming environments: how does field strength affect gas on spiral arm and cloud scales?

Nicholas P. Herrington, Clare L. Dobbs, Thomas J. R. Bending

We investigate star formation from subparsec to kpc scales with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models of a cloud structure and a section of galactic spiral arm. We aim to understand how…

Observational Bias and Young Massive Cluster Characterisation II. Can Gaia accurately observe young clusters and associations?

Anne S. M. Buckner, Tim Naylor, Clare L. Dobbs +2

Observations of clusters suffer from issues such as completeness, projection effects, resolving individual stars and extinction. As such, how accurate are measurements and conclusi…

Star cluster formation and feedback in different environments of a Milky Way-like galaxy

Ahmad A. Ali, Clare L. Dobbs, Thomas J. R. Bending +2

It remains unclear how galactic environment affects star formation and stellar cluster properties. This is difficult to address in Milky Way-mass galaxy simulations because of limi…

The role of previous generations of stars in triggering star formation and driving gas dynamics

Nicholas P. Herrington, Clare L. Dobbs, Thomas J. R. Bending

We present hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of sub galactic regions including photoionising and supernova feedack. We aim to improve the initial conditions of…

The formation of clusters and OB associations in different density spiral arm environments

C. L. Dobbs, T. J. R. Bending, A. R. Pettitt +2

We present simulations of the formation and evolution of clusters in spiral arms. The simulations follow two different spiral arm regions, and the total gas mass is varied to produ…

Supernovae and photoionizing feedback in spiral arm molecular clouds

Thomas J. R. Bending, Clare L. Dobbs, Matthew R. Bate

We explore the interplay between supernovae and the ionizing radiation of their progenitors in star forming regions. The relative contributions of these stellar feedback processes…

Stellar winds and photoionization in a spiral arm

Ahmad A. Ali, Thomas J. R. Bending, Clare L. Dobbs

The role of different stellar feedback mechanisms in giant molecular clouds is not well understood. This is especially true for regions with many interacting clouds as would be fou…

The formation and early evolution of embedded star clusters in spiral galaxies

Steven Rieder, Clare Dobbs, Thomas Bending +2

We present Ekster, a new method for simulating star clusters from birth in a live galaxy simulation that combines the smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method Phantom with the…

The formation of massive stellar clusters in converging galactic flows with photoionisation

C. L. Dobbs, T. J. R. Bending, A. R. Pettitt +1

We have performed simulations of cluster formation along two regions of a spiral arm taken from a global Milky Way simulation, including photoionising feedback. One region is chara…

Photoionising feedback in spiral arm molecular clouds

Thomas J. R. Bending, Clare L. Dobbs, Matthew R. Bate

We present simulations of a 500 pc region, containing gas of mass 4 10 M, extracted from an entire spiral galaxy simulation, scaled up in resolution, inclu…
