Turbulence driving in a star-forming Milky-Way-type galaxy

Isabella A. Gerrard, Christoph Federrath

The life-cycle, structure, and dynamics of the interstellar medium (ISM) is regulated by turbulence. Complex physical processes, including supernova (SN) explosions, shear, and gra…

Turbulence statistics of HI clouds entrained in the Milky Way's nuclear wind

Isabella A. Gerrard, Karlie A. Noon, Christoph Federrath +3

The interstellar medium (ISM) is ubiquitously turbulent across many physically distinct environments within the Galaxy. Turbulence is key in controlling the structure and dynamics…

A Galactic Eclipse: The Small Magellanic Cloud is Forming Stars in Two, Superimposed Systems

Claire E. Murray, Sten Hasselquist, Joshua E. G. Peek +22

The structure and dynamics of the star-forming disk of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) have long confounded us. The SMC is widely used as a prototype for galactic physics at low m…

A new method for spatially resolving the turbulence driving mixture in the ISM with application to the Small Magellanic Cloud

Isabella A. Gerrard, Christoph Federrath, Nickolas M. Pingel +12

Turbulence plays a crucial role in shaping the structure of the interstellar medium. The ratio of the three-dimensional density contrast () to the turbulent sonic Mach n…

The role of initial magnetic field structure in the launching of protostellar jets

Isabella A. Gerrard, Christoph Federrath, Rajika Kuruwita

Magnetic fields are known to play a crucial role in the star formation process, particularly in the formation of jets and outflows from protostellar discs. The magnetic field struc…
