High-Resolution Studies of the Multiple-Core Systems toward Cluster-Forming Regions Including Massive Stars
Hiro Saito, Masao Saito, Yoshinori Yonekura +1
We present the results of C18O observations by the Nobeyama Millimeter Array toward dense clumps with radii of ~ 0.3 pc in six cluster-forming regions including massive (proto)star…
Magnetically Regulated Star Formation in 3D: The Case of Taurus Molecular Cloud Complex
Fumitaka Nakamura, Zhi-Yun Li
We carry out three-dimensional MHD simulations of star formation in turbulent, magnetized clouds, including ambipolar diffusion and feedback from protostellar outflows. The calcula…
Cluster Formation in Protostellar Outflow-Driven Turbulence
Zhi-Yun Li, Fumitaka Nakamura
Most, perhaps all, stars go through a phase of vigorous outflow during formation. We examine, through 3D MHD simulation, the effects of protostellar outflows on cluster formation.…
On the Hydrodynamic Interaction of Shock Waves with Interstellar Clouds. II. The Effect of Smooth Cloud Boundaries on Cloud Destruction and Cloud Turbulence
Fumitaka Nakamura, Christopher F. McKee, Richard I. Klein +1
The effect of smooth cloud boundaries on the interaction of steady planar shock waves with interstellar clouds is studied using a high-resolution local AMR technique with a second-…
Quiescent Cores and the Efficiency of Turbulence-Accelerated, Magnetically Regulated Star Formation
Fumitaka Nakamura, Zhi-Yun Li
The efficiency of star formation, defined as the ratio of the stellar to total (gas and stellar) mass, is observed to vary from a few percent in regions of dispersed star formation…
Low-Mass Star Formation, Triggered by Supernova in Primordial Clouds
Masahiro N. Machida, Kohji Tomisaka, Fumitaka Nakamura +1
The evolution of a gas shell, swept by the supernova remnant of a massive first generation star, is studied with H_2 and HD chemistry taken into account. When a first-generation st…
