Centrally concentrated star formation in young clusters II: Jet feedback

Adilkhan Assilkhan, Sabrina M. Appel, Bekdaulet Shukirgaliyev +5

Protostellar jets are one of the earliest forms of stellar feedback, but their impact on star formation and cluster assembly in centrally concentrated molecular clouds remains poor…

The emerging timescale of young star clusters regulated by cluster stellar mass

Alex Pedrini, Angela Adamo, Daniela Calzetti +23

Quantifying the timescales of star cluster emergence from their natal clouds remains one of the main challenges in understanding the star formation process. These timescales are fu…

EDGE-INFERNO: How chemical enrichment assumptions impact the individual stars of a simulated ultra-faint dwarf galaxy

Eric P. Andersson, Martin P. Rey, Robert M. Yates +6

The chemical abundances of stars in galaxies are a fossil record of the star formation and stellar evolution processes that regulate galaxy formation, including the stellar initial…

From Primordial Stars to Early Galaxies: A Semi-Analytic Model Calibrated with Aeos and Renaissance

Ryan Hazlett, Jennifer Mead, Eli Visbal +6

We present an extension of our semi-analytic model that follows the formation of Population III stars and their metal-enriched descendants, incorporating dark matter halo merger tr…

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…

Aeos is Mixing it Up: The (In)homogeneity of Metal Mixing Following Population III Star Formation

Jennifer Mead, Kaley Brauer, Greg L. Bryan +7

Stellar surface abundances are records of the state of the gas from which stars formed, and thus trace how individual elements have mixed into the surrounding medium following thei…

Stellar Feedback Effects on the Mass Distribution of Clouds and Cloud Complexes

Luanna Veroneze Quinalha, Eric P. Andersson, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low

Galaxy evolution is sensitive to how stars inject feedback into their surroundings. In particular, stellar feedback from star clusters strongly affects gas motions and the baryonic…

Massive Interacting Binaries Enhance Feedback in Star-Forming Regions

Claude Cournoyer-Cloutier, Eric P. Andersson, Sabrina M. Appel +9

We present a new framework to incorporate feedback from massive interacting binaries in simulations of star cluster formation. Our new feedback model adds binary stellar evolution…

Aeos: The Impact of Population III Initial Mass Function and Star-by-Star Models in Galaxy Simulations

Kaley Brauer, Jennifer Mead, John H. Wise +7

We explore the effect of variations in the Population III (Pop III) initial mass function (IMF) and star-by-star feedback on early galaxy formation and evolution using the Aeos sim…

Massive Star Cluster Formation with Binaries. I. Evolution of Binary Populations

Claude Cournoyer-Cloutier, Alison Sills, William E. Harris +7

We study the evolution of populations of binary stars within massive cluster-forming regions. We simulate the formation of young massive star clusters within giant molecular clouds…

Aeos: Transport of Metals from Minihalos following Population III Stellar Feedback

Jennifer Mead, Kaley Brauer, Greg L. Bryan +7

We investigate how stellar feedback from the first stars (Population III) distributes metals through the interstellar and intergalactic medium using the star-by-star cosmological h…

SIEGE III: The formation of dense stellar clusters in sub-parsec resolution cosmological simulations with individual star feedback

F. Calura, R. Pascale, O. Agertz +10

Star clusters stand at the crossroads between galaxies and single stars. Resolving the formation of star clusters in cosmological simulations represents an ambitious and challengin…

AEOS: Star-by-Star Cosmological Simulations of Early Chemical Enrichment and Galaxy Formation

Kaley Brauer, Andrew Emerick, Jennifer Mead +7

The AEOS project introduces a series of high-resolution cosmological simulations that model star-by-star chemical enrichment and galaxy formation in the early Universe, achieving 1…

Massive star cluster formation III. Early mass segregation during cluster assembly

Brooke Polak, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Ralf S. Klessen +6

Mass segregation is seen in many star clusters, but whether massive stars form in the center of a cluster or migrate there dynamically is still debated. N-body simulations have sho…

Massive star cluster formation II. Runaway stars as fossils of sub-cluster mergers

Brooke Polak, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Ralf S. Klessen +6

Two main mechanisms have classically been proposed for the formation of runaway stars. In the binary supernova scenario (BSS), a massive star in a binary explodes as a supernova, e…

Measuring Dwarf Galaxy Intrinsic Abundance Scatter with Mid-resolution Spectroscopic Surveys: Calibrating APOGEE Abundance Errors

Jennifer Mead, Melissa Ness, Eric Andersson +2

The first generations of stars left their chemical fingerprints on metal-poor stars in the Milky Way and its surrounding dwarf galaxies. While instantaneous and homogeneous enrichm…

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…
