Molecular Line Emission from Massive Protostellar Disks: Predictions for ALMA and the EVLA
Mark R. Krumholz, Richard I. Klein, Christopher F. McKee
We compute the molecular line emission of massive protostellar disks by solving the equation of radiative transfer through the cores and disks produced by the recent radiation-hydr…
Radiation-Hydrodynamic Simulations of Collapse and Fragmentation in Massive Protostellar Cores
Mark R. Krumholz, Richard I. Klein, Christopher F. McKee
We simulate the early stages of the evolution of turbulent, virialized, high-mass protostellar cores, with primary attention to how cores fragment, and whether they form a small or…
The Global Evolution of Giant Molecular Clouds. I: Model Formulation and Quasi-Equilibrium Behavior
Mark R. Krumholz, Christopher D. Matzner, Christopher F. McKee
We present semi-analytic dynamical models for giant molecular clouds evolving under the influence of HII regions launched by newborn star clusters. In contrast to previous work, we…
