Turbulent gas-rich discs at high redshift: Chaotic orbits and rapid bulge formation at high gas fraction

Johan M. Villa-Alatorre, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Thor Tepper-Garcia +2

Using the \nexus\ N-body/hydrodynamic framework, we show that stellar bars that emerge in high-redshift disc galaxies are different in their orbital characteristics compared to the…

The driving mode of turbulence in disc galaxy simulations with adaptive mesh refinement

James Watt, Christoph Federrath, Thorsten Tepper-Garcia +2

Turbulence is a key ingredient in controlling the structure of the interstellar medium (ISM) and star formation, yet we still lack a detailed understanding of its drivers in galaxi…

Nexus-CDM: Isolated Galaxy Simulations with Cosmologically Evolving Dark-Matter Halos I. Method and Validation

Thor Tepper-García, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Oscar Agertz +1

Galaxy evolution can be modelled in two complementary ways. Standalone simulations place a single galaxy in isolation, evolving it under controlled initial conditions without the s…

ACES VIII: A Survey of Compact, High-Velocity Features Observed in CS(2-1)

Dani R. Lipman, Jakub Poznanski, Savannah R. Gramze +46

The extreme kinematics of the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) are influenced by processes such as dynamical shearing, cloud collisions, and stellar feedback. These events…

ACES VII. Compact Continuum Source Catalog of the Central Molecular Zone

Jennifer Wallace, Cara Battersby, Nazar Budaiev +58

The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) resides in the inner few hundred parsecs of our Galaxy, and despite being the largest reservoir of dense molecular gas in the Milky Way, it has a r…

Magnetic destabilisation in disc galaxies: Filament/feather formation

Raghav Arora, Oscar Agertz, Christoph Federrath +1

Gas gravitational instability plays a crucial role in secular galactic evolution, but the role played by magnetic fields in mediating this instability - despite their dynamical rel…

Electron temperature and emission measure of HII regions in the central molecular zone (CMZ) from H40 αrecombination line and continuum emissions by ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey - ACES -

Yoshiaki Sofue, Steven N. Longmore, Daniel Walker +40

Star formation activity in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) directly manifests itself as radio continuum free-free emission (Bremsstrahlung) and radio recombination line emission f…

From 2D to 3D: Recovering Turbulent Density Dispersions from Noisy Data

Luz L. Jimenez Vela, Christoph Federrath, David C. Collins +1

Turbulence plays a central role in shaping the structure and dynamics of the interstellar medium (ISM), governing the star formation rate (SFR) and the initial mass function (IMF).…

The turbulence driving mode in NGC7793 and NGC1313

Lewis J Miller, Kathryn Grasha, Christoph Federrath

We present spatially resolved measurements of turbulence driving modes across entire extragalactic discs of NGC7793 and NGC1313, using Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array…

Turbulence driving in a star-forming Milky-Way-type galaxy

Isabella A. Gerrard, Christoph Federrath

The life-cycle, structure, and dynamics of the interstellar medium (ISM) is regulated by turbulence. Complex physical processes, including supernova (SN) explosions, shear, and gra…

Stellar spin in young star clusters: comparison between simulations and observations

Giacomo Cordoni, Sajay Sunny Mathew, Christoph Federrath

The angular momentum evolution of stars is crucial for understanding the formation and evolution of stars and star clusters. Using high-resolution magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simul…

Galactic seismology: can the Gaia 'phase spiral' co-exist with a clumpy, turbulent interstellar medium?

Thor Tepper-García, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Timothy R. Bedding +2

The Gaia satellite revealed a remarkable spiral pattern ('phase spiral', PS) in the z-Vz phase-plane throughout the solar neighbourhood, where z and Vz are the displacement and vel…

Formation of filaments and feathers in disc galaxies: Is self-gravity enough?

Raghav Arora, Christoph Federrath, Mark Krumholz +1

Context. Dense filaments/feathers are kpc-scale dusty features present in nearby main sequence galaxies. Distinct from the spiral arms, filaments constitute a major portion of dens…

Pulling back the curtain on shocks and star-formation in NGC 1266 with Gemini-NIFS

Justin Atsushi Otter, Katherine Alatalo, Kate Rowlands +21

We present Gemini near-infrared integral field spectrograph (NIFS) K-band observations of the central 400 pc of NGC 1266, a nearby (D30 Mpc) post-starburst galaxy with a p…

Star Formation

Rajika Kuruwita, Łukasz Tychoniec, Christoph Federrath

In this chapter, we will cover how stars form from the stellar nurseries that are giant molecular clouds. We will first review the physical processes that compete to regulate star…
