The changing GMC population in galaxy interactions
Alex R. Pettitt, Fumi Egusa, Clare L. Dobbs +3
With the advent of modern observational efforts providing extensive giant molecular cloud catalogues, understanding the evolution of such clouds in a galactic context is of prime i…
The Impact of Galactic Disc Environment on Star-Forming Clouds
Ngan K. Nguyen, Alex R. Pettitt, Elizabeth J. Tasker +1
We explore the effect of different galactic disc environments on the properties of star-forming clouds through variations in the background potential in a set of isolated galaxy si…
The effect of photoionising feedback on star formation in isolated and colliding clouds
Kazuhiro Shima, Elizabeth J. Tasker, Christoph Federrath +1
We investigate star formation occurring in idealised giant molecular clouds, comparing structures that evolve in isolation versus those undergoing a collision. Two different collis…
Formation of Massive, Dense Cores by Cloud-Cloud Collisions
Ken Takahira, Kazuhiro Shima, Elizabeth J. Tasker +1
We performed sub-parsec ( 0.014 pc) scale simulations of cloud-cloud collisions of two idealized turbulent molecular clouds (MCs) with different masses in the range of $0.76…
Star formation and ISM morphology in tidally induced spiral structures
Alex R. Pettitt, Elizabeth J. Tasker, James W. Wadsley +2
Tidal encounters are believed to be one of the key drivers of galactic spiral structure in the Universe. Such spirals are expected to produce different morphological and kinematic…
On the effective turbulence driving mode of molecular clouds formed in disc galaxies
Keitaro Jin, Diane M. Salim, Christoph Federrath +3
We determine the physical properties and turbulence driving mode of molecular clouds formed in numerical simulations of a Milky Way-type disc galaxy with parsec-scale resolution. T…
