ALMA-IMF XXII. Role of core subfragmentation in the IMF origin: Hierarchical fragmentation cascade and CMF in W43-MM1
F. Motte, N. Le Nestour, R. Veyry +29
We aim to predict how the currently observed top-heavy CMF in the massive protocluster W43-MM1 evolves due to core subfragmentation. We used getsf to extract sources in 5 ALMA imag…
S2D2: Small-scale Significant substructure DBSCAN Detection II. Tracing episodes and gradients of star formation activity
Marta González, Isabelle Joncour, Estelle Moraux +5
We provide the community with a homogeneous catalogue of small, significant substructures (henceforth NESTs) extracted from the spatial distribution of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs)…
On the coupled origin of the stellar IMF and multiplicity
B. Thomasson, I. Joncour, E. Moraux +3
In the solar neighborhood, the Initial Mass Function (IMF) follows is canonically described by the Salpeter power-law slope for the high-mass range. The stellar IMF may directly re…
DAWN. I. Simulating the formation and early evolution of stellar clusters with Phantom N-Body
Yann Bernard, Estelle Moraux, Daniel J. Price +3
Context. Simulating stellar dynamics in a molecular cloud environment is numerically challenging due to the strong coupling between young stars and their surrounding gas, and the l…
ALMA-IMF XVI: Mass-averaged temperature of cores and protostellar luminosities in the ALMA-IMF protoclusters
F. Motte, Y. Pouteau, T. Nony +34
ALMA-IMF imaged 15 massive protoclusters down to a resolution of of 2 kau scales, identifying about 1000 star-forming cores. The mass and luminosity of these cores, which are funda…
