Massive star formation via torus accretion: the effect of photoionization feedback
N. S. Sartorio, B. Vandenbroucke, D. Falceta-Goncalves +2
The formation of massive stars is a long standing problem. Although a number of theories of massive star formation exist, ideas appear to converge to a disk-mediated accretion scen…
Radiation hydrodynamic simulations of massive star formation via gravitationally trapped HII regions - Spherically symmetric ionised accretion flows
Kristin Lund, Kenneth Wood, Diego Falceta-Gonçalves +5
This paper investigates the gravitational trapping of HII regions predicted by steady-state analysis using radiation hydrodynamical simulations. We present idealised spherically sy…
Testing the stability of supersonic ionized Bondi accretion flows with radiation hydrodynamics
Bert Vandenbroucke, Nina S. Sartorio, Kenneth Wood +6
We investigate the general stability of 1D spherically symmetric ionized Bondi accretion onto a massive object in the specific context of accretion onto a young stellar object. We…
The central 1000 AU of a pre-stellar core revealed with ALMA. I. 1.3 mm continuum observations
Paola Caselli, Jaime E. Pineda, Bo Zhao +8
Stars like our Sun form in self-gravitating dense and cold structures within interstellar clouds, called pre-stellar cores. Although much is known about the physical structure of d…
The dynamical evolution of molecular clouds near the Galactic Centre - II. Spatial structure and kinematics of simulated clouds
J. M. D. Kruijssen, J. E. Dale, S. N. Longmore +16
The evolution of molecular clouds in galactic centres is thought to differ from that in galactic discs due to a significant influence of the external gravitational potential. We pr…
