The Star Formation Law in Atomic and Molecular Gas
Mark R. Krumholz, Christopher F. McKee, Jason Tumlinson
We propose a simple theoretical model for star formation in which the local star formation rate in a galaxy is determined by three factors. First, the interplay between the interst…
First Stars III Conference Summary
Brian W. O'Shea, Christopher F. McKee, Alexander Heger +1
The understanding of the formation, life, and death of Population III stars, as well as the impact that these objects had on later generations of structure formation, is one of the…
The Formation of the First Stars I. Mass Infall Rates, Accretion Disk Structure and Protostellar Evolution
Jonathan C. Tan, Christopher F. McKee
We present a theoretical model for primordial star formation. First we describe the structure of the initial gas cores as virialized, quasi-hydrostatic objects in accord with recen…
The Neutral Atomic Phases of the ISM in the Galaxy
M. G. Wolfire, C. F. McKee, D. Hollenbach +1
Much of the interstellar medium in disk galaxies is in the form of neutral atomic hydrogen, H I. This gas can be in thermal equilibrium at relatively low temperatures, T < 300 K (t…
