Magnetic Fields and Galactic Star Formation Rates
Sven Van Loo, Jonathan C. Tan, Sam A. E. G. Falle
The regulation of galactic-scale star formation rates (SFRs) is a basic problem for theories of galaxy formation and evolution: which processes are responsible for making observed…
Kiloparsec-Scale Simulations of Star Formation in Disk Galaxies III. Structure and Dynamics of Filaments and Clumps in Giant Molecular Clouds
Michael J. Butler, Jonathan C. Tan, Sven Van Loo
We present hydrodynamic simulations of self-gravitating dense gas in a galactic disk, exploring scales ranging from 1 kpc down to ~pc. Our primary goal is to understand h…
Core and filament formation in magnetized, self-gravitating isothermal layers
Sven Van Loo, Eric Keto, Qizhou Zhang
We examine the role of the gravitational instability in an isothermal, self-gravitating layer threaded by magnetic fields on the formation of filaments and dense cores. Using numer…
