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…
