Atomic Hydrogen Gas in Dark-Matter Minihalos and the Compact High Velocity Clouds
A. Sternberg, C. F. McKee, M. G. Wolfire
We calculate the coupled hydrostatic and ionization structures of pressure-supported gas clouds that are confined by gravitationally dominant dark-matter (DM) mini-halos and by an…
The Formation of Massive Stars from Turbulent Cores
Christopher F. McKee, Jonathan C. Tan
Observations indicate that massive stars form in regions of very high surface density, ~1 g cm^-2. Clusters containing massive stars and globular clusters have a comparable column…
Massive star formation in 100,000 years from turbulent and pressurized molecular clouds
Christopher F. McKee, Jonathan C. Tan
Massive stars (with mass m_* > 8 solar masses) are fundamental to the evolution of galaxies, because they produce heavy elements, inject energy into the interstellar medium, and po…
Time Dependence of the Ultraviolet Radiation Field in the Local Interstellar Medium
Antonio Parravano, David J. Hollenbach, Christopher F. McKee
Far Ultraviolet radiation has been recognized as the main source of heating of the neutral interstellar gas, and, as a consequence, it determines whether the thermal balance of the…
