Modeling CO Emission: I. CO as a Column Density Tracer and the X-Factor in Molecular Clouds
Rahul Shetty, Simon C. Glover, Cornelis P. Dullemond +1
Theoretical and observational investigations have indicated that the abundance of carbon monoxide (CO) is very sensitive to intrinsic properties of the gaseous medium, such as dens…
The Abundance of Molecular Hydrogen and its Correlation with Midplane Pressure in Galaxies: Non-Equilibrium, Turbulent, Chemical Models
Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Simon C. O. Glover
Observations of spiral galaxies show a strong linear correlation between the ratio of molecular to atomic hydrogen surface density R_mol and midplane pressure. To explain this, we…
A quantification of the non-spherical geometry and accretion of collapsing cores
Rowan J. Smith, Simon C. O. Glover, Ian A. Bonnell +2
We present the first detailed classification of the structures of Class 0 cores in a high resolution simulation of a giant molecular cloud. The simulated cloud contains 10^4 solar…
The Effect of Environment on Massive Star Formation
Rowan J Smith, Paul C. Clark, Simon C. O. Glover +2
In this contribution we review our recent numerical work discussing the essential role of the local cluster environment in assembling massive stars. First we show that massive star…
Gravitational fragmentation in turbulent primordial gas and the initial mass function of Population III stars
Paul C. Clark, Simon C. O. Glover, Ralf S. Klessen +1
We report results from numerical simulations of star formation in the early universe that focus on the dynamical behavior of metal-free gas under different initial and environmenta…
On the Relationship Between Molecular Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide Abundances in Molecular Clouds
S. C. O. Glover, M. -M. Mac Low
The most usual tracer of molecular gas is line emission from CO. However, the reliability of that tracer has long been questioned in environments different from the Milky Way. We s…
