Dynamics of Star Cluster Formation: The Effects of Ongoing Star Formation and Stellar Feedback

Jeremy Karam, Michiko S. Fujii, Alison Sills

We perform a high resolution zoom-in simulation of star cluster assembly including the merger of two sub-clusters with initial conditions taken from previous large scale giant mole…

The formation and dynamical evolution of young star clusters

Michiko Fujii, Simon Portegies Zwart

Recent observations have revealed a variety of young star clusters, including embedded systems, young massive clusters, and associations. We study the formation and dynamical evolu…

Formation of young massive clusters from turbulent molecular clouds

Michiko S. Fujii

Young massive clusters are as young as open clusters but more massive and compact compared with typical open clusters. The formation process of young massive clusters is still uncl…

The initial mass function of star clusters that form in turbulent molecular clouds

M. S. Fujii, S. Portegies Zwart

We simulate the formation and evolution of young star clusters using the combination of SPH simulations and direct N-body simulations. We start by performing SPH simulations of the…

The moment of core collapse in star clusters with a mass function

M. S. Fujii, S. Portegies Zwart

Star clusters with multi-mass components dynamically evolve faster than those modeled with equal-mass components. Using a series of direct -body simulations, we investigate the…
