Eccentricities of Close Stellar Binaries
Yanqin Wu, Sam Hadden, Janosz Dewberry +2
Orbits of stellar binaries are in general eccentric. These eccentricities encode information about their early lives. Here, we use thousands of main-sequence binaries from the Gaia…
Intense star cluster formation: stellar masses, the mass function, and the fundamental mass scale
Christopher D. Matzner
Within the birth environment of a massive globular cluster, the combination of a luminous young stellar population and a high column density induces a state in which the thermal op…
Nonlinear perturbations and weak shock waves in isentropic atmospheres
Tamar Faran, Christopher D. Matzner, Eliot Quataert
Acoustic perturbations to stellar envelopes can lead to the formation of weak shock waves via nonlinear wave-steepening. Close to the stellar surface, the weak shock wave increases…
Playing with FIRE: A Galactic Feedback-Halting Experiment Challenges Star Formation Rate Theories
Shivan Khullar, Christopher D. Matzner, Norman Murray +4
Stellar feedback influences the star formation rate (SFR) and the interstellar medium of galaxies in ways that are difficult to quantify numerically, because feedback is an essenti…
