Transferring Data from a Voronoi Mesh to an Adaptive Cartesian Grid in Pursuit of Self-consistent Top-down Star Formation

Sean C. Lewis, Brooke Polak, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +5

Unstructured Voronoi mesh simulations offer many advantages for simulating self-gravitating gas dynamics on galactic scales. Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) can be a powerful tool f…

Protostellar Jets in Star Cluster Formation and Evolution: I. Implementation and Initial Results

Sabrina M. Appel, Blakesley Burkhart, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +8

Stars form in clusters from the gravitational collapse of giant molecular clouds, which is opposed by a variety of physical processes, including stellar feedback. The interplay bet…

Centrally concentrated star formation in young clusters

Adilkhan Assilkhan, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Brooke Polak +6

The study of star cluster evolution necessitates modeling how their density profiles develop from their natal gas distribution. Observational evidence indicates that many star clus…

Massive star cluster formation I. High star formation efficiency while resolving feedback of individual stars

Brooke Polak, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Ralf S. Klessen +11

The mode of star formation that results in the formation of globular clusters and young massive clusters is difficult to constrain through observations. We present models of massiv…

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…

Early-Forming Massive Stars Suppress Star Formation and Hierarchical Cluster Assembly

Sean C. Lewis, Stephen L. W. McMillan, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +8

Feedback from massive stars plays an important role in the formation of star clusters. Whether a very massive star is born early or late in the cluster formation timeline has profo…

Studying the [OIII]5007A emission-line width in a sample of 80 local active galaxies: A surrogate for ?

Vardha N. Bennert, Donald Loveland, Edward Donohue +10

For a sample of 80 local () Seyfert-1 galaxies with high-quality long-slit Keck spectra and spatially-resolved stellar-velocity dispersion ()…
