Inversely synthesizing the core mass function of high-mass star-forming regions from the canonical initial mass function
J. W. Zhou, Pavel Kroupa, Sami Dib
Many studies have revealed that the core mass function (CMF) in high-mass star-forming regions is top-heavy. In this work, we start from the canonical initial mass function (IMF) t…
An examination of large-scale galactic effects on molecular cloud properties in NGC 628 : The significant impact of tidal effects from neighboring material on the evolution of molecular clouds
J. W. Zhou, Sami Dib
The physical factors that influence the development of molecular cloud's density contrast are connected to those that affect star formation in the galaxy. For NGC 628 (M74), the pr…
The currently observed clumps cannot be the "direct" precursors of the currently observed open clusters
J. W. Zhou, Sami Dib, Pavel Kroupa
We categorized clumps, embedded clusters, and open clusters and conducted a comparative analysis of their physical properties. Overall, the radii of open clusters are significantly…
The star formation histories, star formation efficiencies and ionizing sources of ATLASGAL clumps with HII regions
J. W. Zhou, Sami Dib, Pavel Kroupa
1226 ATLASGAL clumps with HII regions were matched with radio sources in the CORNISH-North/South surveys, and 392 of them have corresponding radio sources. We determined the stella…
