Early evolution of embedded clusters

J. E. Dale, B. Ercolano, I. A. Bonnell

We examine the combined effects of winds and photoionizing radiation from O--type stars on embedded stellar clusters formed in model turbulent molecular clouds covering a range of…

Before the first supernova: combined effects of HII regions and winds on molecular clouds

J. E. Dale, J. Ngoumou, B. Ercolano +1

We model the combined effects of photoionization and momentum--driven winds from O--stars on molecular clouds spanning a parameter space of initial conditions. The dynamical effect…

Massive stars in massive clusters IV: Disruption of clouds by momentum-driven winds

J. E. Dale, J. Ngoumou, B. Ercolano +1

We examine the effect of momentum-driven OB-star stellar winds on a parameter space of simulated turbulent Giant Molecular Clouds using SPH hydrodynamical simulations. By compariso…

Optical IFU observations of gas pillars surrounding the super star cluster NGC 3603

M. S. Westmoquette, J. E. Dale, B. Ercolano +1

We present optical integral field unit (IFU) observations of two gas pillars surrounding the Galactic young massive star cluster NGC 3603. The high S/N and spectral resolution of t…

Ionization--induced star formation V: Triggering in partially unbound clusters

J. E. Dale, B. Ercolano, I. A. Bonnell

We present the fourth in a series of papers detailing our SPH study of the effects of ionizing feedback from O--type stars on turbulent star forming clouds. Here, we study the effe…

Ionization--induced star formation IV: Triggering in bound clusters

J. E. Dale, B. Ercolano, I. A. Bonnell

We present a detailed study of star formation occurring in bound star--forming clouds under the influence of internal ionizing feedback from massive stars across a spectrum of clou…
