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…
