A triple-induced merger in T Ori C, solves the proplyd lifetime problem and the curiously young shell of M42

Maite Wilhelm, Alessandro Alberto Trani, Simon Portegies Zwart

There has long been a tension between the stellar ages in the Orion Nebula Cluster and the rapid external photoevaporation of its protoplanetary discs. Recently, the shell of the O…

Transferring Data from a Voronoi Mesh to an Adaptive Cartesian Grid in Pursuit of Self-consistent Top-down Star Formation

Sean C. Lewis, Brooke Polak, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +5

Unstructured Voronoi mesh simulations offer many advantages for simulating self-gravitating gas dynamics on galactic scales. Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) can be a powerful tool f…

Protostellar Jets in Star Cluster Formation and Evolution: I. Implementation and Initial Results

Sabrina M. Appel, Blakesley Burkhart, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +8

Stars form in clusters from the gravitational collapse of giant molecular clouds, which is opposed by a variety of physical processes, including stellar feedback. The interplay bet…

Binary Disruption and Ejected Stars from Hierarchical Star Cluster Assembly

Claude Cournoyer-Cloutier, Jeremy Karam, Alison Sills +2

We simulate mergers between star clusters embedded within their natal giant molecular cloud. We extract initial conditions from cloud-scale simulations of cluster formation and int…

On the suppression of giant planet formation around low-mass stars in clustered environments

Shuo Huang, Simon Portegies Zwart, Maite J. C. Wilhelm

Context: Current exoplanet formation studies tend to overlook the birth environment of stars in clustered environments. The effect of this environment on the planet-formation proce…

Venice: a multi-scale operator-splitting algorithm for multi-physics simulations

Maite Wilhelm, Simon Portegies Zwart

We present {\sc Venice}, an operator splitting algorithm to integrate a numerical model on a hierarchy of timescales. {\sc Venice} allows a wide variety of different physical proce…

Massive star cluster formation I. High star formation efficiency while resolving feedback of individual stars

Brooke Polak, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Ralf S. Klessen +11

The mode of star formation that results in the formation of globular clusters and young massive clusters is difficult to constrain through observations. We present models of massiv…
