Virial-based extraction of structures in numerical simulations: The vibes tool
Simon Chevalier, Fabien Louvet, Yann Bernard +9
The processes that determine the stellar initial mass function (IMF) and its connection to the core mass function (CMF) are among the major open questions in star formation. The de…
ALMA-IMF XVI: Mass-averaged temperature of cores and protostellar luminosities in the ALMA-IMF protoclusters
F. Motte, Y. Pouteau, T. Nony +34
ALMA-IMF imaged 15 massive protoclusters down to a resolution of of 2 kau scales, identifying about 1000 star-forming cores. The mass and luminosity of these cores, which are funda…
ALMA-IMF XV: The core mass function in the high-mass star-formation regime
F. Louvet, P. Sanhueza, A. Stutz +38
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is critical to our understanding of star formation and the effects of young stars on their environment. On large scales, it enables us to us…
ALMA-IMF XII: Point-process mapping of 15 massive protoclusters
P. Dell'Ova, F. Motte, A. Gusdorf +29
A crucial aspect in addressing the challenge of measuring the core mass function, that is pivotal for comprehending the origin of the initial mass function, lies in constraining th…
