Evolution of fractality in centrally concentrated young clusters
Almat Akhmetali, Adilkhan Assilkhan, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +6
We investigate the structural evolution of young star clusters forming within centrally concentrated molecular clouds. Our simulations use the Torch framework, which integrates the…
Dynamical Cluster Assembly Framework (D-CAF): The Link Between Star Cluster Formation and Expansion Rates
Juan P. Farias, Alison Sills
We introduce the Dynamical Cluster Assembly Framework (D-CAF), an AMUSE-based framework designed to connect embedded star formation histories to the dynamical evolution of young st…
Simulating Star Formation and Star Cluster Assembly in the Aquila Rift Using Archival Observations
Jeremy Karam, Michiko S. Fujii, Rachel Friesen +1
We simulate star formation and star cluster assembly inside a molecular cloud with parameters we derive directly from observations of the Aquila Rift. We model the evolution of sta…
The collision and merger products of stars do not look alike: A magnetohydrodynamics comparison
Pavan Vynatheya, Taeho Ryu, Chen Wang +2
A significant fraction of stars experience close interactions, including collisions resulting from gravitational encounters and mergers within close binary systems. These processes…
The Blue Lurker WOCS 14020: A Long-Period Post-Common-Envelope Binary in M67 Originating from a Merger in a Triple System
Emily M. Leiner, Natalie M. Gosnell, Aaron M. Geller +3
We present Hubble Space Telescope far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectra of a blue-lurkerwhite-dwarf (BL-WD) binary system in the 4 Gyr open cluster M67. We fit the FUV spectrum of the W…
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…
