Filamentary Hierarchies and Superbubbles II: Impact of superbubbles and galactic dynamics on filament formation and fragmentation
Rachel Pillsworth, Ralph E. Pudritz, Eric W. Koch +1
Large scale phenomena in spiral galaxies such as shear, supernovae, and magnetic fields all contribute to the formation and subsequent evolution of filamentary structure and star f…
Revealing the Connection Between the Filamentary Hierarchy and Star Cluster Formation in a Simulated NGC 628 Galaxy
Tamara Koletic, Rachel Pillsworth, Ralph E. Pudritz
There is abundant observational evidence for the hierarchical, interconnected nature of filaments in the interstellar medium (ISM) extending from galactic down to sub-parsec scales…
From theory to observation: understanding filamentary flows in high-mass star-forming clusters
M. R. A. Wells, R. Pillsworth, H. Beuther +2
Here we use data from multi-scale galactic MHD simulations to observe filaments and star forming clumps on 10's of pc scales and investigate flow rate relationships along, and onto…
Filamentary Hierarchies and Superbubbles I: Characterizing filament properties across a simulated spiral galaxy
Rachel Pillsworth, Erica Roscoe, Ralph E. Pudritz +1
High resolution surveys reveal that the interstellar medium in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies consists of interlinked hierarchies of filamentary structure and superbubbles exten…
