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…
