Building Merger Trees from Cosmological N-body Simulations
D. Tweed, J. Devriendt, J. Blaizot +2
Although a fair amount of work has been devoted to growing Monte-Carlo merger trees which resemble those built from an N-body simulation, comparatively little effort has been inves…
Cooling, Gravity and Geometry: Flow-driven Massive Core Formation
Fabian Heitsch, Lee Hartmann, Adrianne D. Slyz +2
We study numerically the formation of molecular clouds in large-scale colliding flows including self-gravity. The models emphasize the competition between the effects of gravity on…
Cloud Dispersal in Turbulent Flows
F. Heitsch, A. D. Slyz, J. E. G. Devriendt +1
Cold clouds embedded in warm media are very common objects in astrophysics. Their disruption timescale depends strongly on the dynamical configuration. We discuss the evolution of…
The Birth of Molecular Clouds: Formation of Atomic Precursors in Colliding Flows
F. Heitsch, A. D. Slyz, J. E. G. Devriendt +2
Molecular Cloud Complexes (MCCs) are highly structured and ``turbulent''. Observational evidence suggests that MCCs are dynamically dominated systems, rather than quasi-equilibrium…
Formation of Structure in Molecular Clouds: A Case Study
F. Heitsch, A. Burkert, L. Hartmann +2
Molecular clouds (MCs) are highly structured and ``turbulent''. Colliding gas streams of atomic hydrogen have been suggested as a possible source of MCs, imprinting the filamentary…
Towards simulating star formation in the interstellar medium
A. Slyz, J. Devriendt, Greg Bryan +1
As a first step to a more complete understanding of the local physical processes which determine star formation rates (SFRs) in the interstellar medium (ISM), we have performed con…
