Dynamics of Star Cluster Formation: Mergers in Gas Rich Environments
Jeremy Karam, Alison Sills
We perform high resolution simulations of forming star clusters as they merge inside giant molecular clouds (GMCs) using hydrodynamics coupled to N-body dynamics to simultaneously…
Galactic properties that favour star cluster formation: a statistical view
Samantha C. Berek, Marta Reina-Campos, Gwendolyn Eadie +1
The presence or absence of star clusters in galaxies, and the properties of star cluster populations compared to their host galaxy properties, are important observables for validat…
Initial sizes of star clusters: implications for cluster dissolution during galaxy evolution
Marta Reina-Campos, Alison Sills, Godefroy Bichon
Massive star clusters are often used as tracers of galaxy formation and assembly. In order to do so, we must understand their properties at formation, and how those properties chan…
Modelling Star Cluster Formation: Gas Accretion
Jeremy Karam, Alison Sills
The formation of star clusters involves the growth of smaller, gas-rich subclusters through accretion of gas from the giant molecular cloud within which the subclusters are embedde…
Early Evolution and 3D Structure of Embedded Star Clusters
Claude Cournoyer-Cloutier, Alison Sills, William E. Harris +8
We perform simulations of star cluster formation to investigate the morphological evolution of embedded star clusters in the earliest stages of their evolution. We conduct our simu…
Using Molecular Gas Observations to Guide Initial Conditions for Star Cluster Simulations
Alison Sills, Steven Rieder, Anne S. M. Buckner +3
The earliest evolution of star clusters involves a phase of co-existence of both newly-formed stars, and the gas from which they are forming. Observations of the gas in such region…
