SCUBA and Spitzer observations of the Taurus molecular cloud - pulling the bull's tail
D. Nutter, J. M. Kirk, D. Stamatellos +1
We present continuum data from the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), and the Mid-Infrared Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS)…
Can giant planets form by gravitational fragmentation of discs?
Dimitris Stamatellos, Anthony P. Whitworth
Gravitational fragmentation has been proposed as a mechanism for the formation of giant planets in close orbits around solar-type stars. However, it is debatable whether this mecha…
Brown dwarf formation by gravitational fragmentation of massive, extended protostellar discs
Dimitris Stamatellos, David Hubber, Anthony Whitworth
We suggest that low-mass hydrogen-burning stars like the Sun should sometimes form with massive extended discs; and we show, by means of radiation hydrodynamic simulations, that th…
The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope Legacy Survey of Nearby Star-forming Regions in the Gould Belt
D. Ward-Thompson, J. Di Francesco, J. Hatchell +59
This paper describes a James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) legacy survey that has been awarded roughly 500 hrs of observing time to be carried out from 2007 to 2009. In this surve…
