Molecular Clouds: Internal Properties, Turbulence, Star Formation and Feedback
Jonathan C. Tan, Suzanne N. Shaske, Sven Van Loo
All stars are born in molecular clouds, and most in giant molecular clouds (GMCs), which thus set the star formation activity of galaxies. We first review their observed properties…
Kiloparsec-Scale Simulations of Star Formation in Disk Galaxies. I. The unmagnetized and zero-feedback limit
Sven Van Loo, Michael J. Butler, Jonathan C. Tan
We present hydrodynamic simulations of the evolution of self-gravitating dense gas on scales of 1 kiloparsec down to < parsec in a galactic disk, designed to study dense clump form…
Sputtering in oblique C-type shocks
S. Van Loo, I. Ashmore, P. Caselli +2
We present the first results for the sputtering of grain mantles and cores obtained with self-consistent multifluid hydromagnetic models of C-type shocks propagating through dusty…
Magnetic Fields and Star Formation
S. Van Loo, T. W. Hartquist, S. A. E. G. Falle
Research performed in the 1950s and 1960s by Leon Mestel on the roles of magnetic fields in star formation established the framework within which he and other key figures have cond…
