Polytropes: Implications for Molecular Clouds and Dark Matter
Christopher F. McKee
Polytropic models are reasonably successful in acounting for the observed features of molecular clouds. Multi-pressure polytropes include the various pressure components that are i…
Efficiencies of Low-Mass Star and Star Cluster Formation
Christopher D. Matzner, Christopher F. McKee
Using a quantitative model for bipolar outflows driven by hydromagnetic protostellar winds, we calculate the efficiency of star formation assuming that available gas is either conv…
Fragmentation and Star Formation in Turbulent Cores
R. I Klein, R. T. Fisher, C. F. McKee
We examine the conditions under which binary and multiple stars may form out of turbulent molecular cloud cores using high resolution 3-D, adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) hydrodynam…
Photoionization of Galactic Halo Gas by Old Supernova Remnants
Jonathan D. Slavin, Christopher F. McKee, David J. Hollenbach
We present new calculations on the contribution from cooling hot gas to the photoionization of warm ionized gas in the Galaxy. We show that hot gas in cooling supernova remnants (S…
