On the Star Formation Efficiency of Turbulent Magnetized Clouds
Christoph Federrath, Ralf S. Klessen
We study the star formation efficiency (SFE) in simulations and observations of turbulent, magnetized, molecular clouds. We find that the probability density functions (PDFs) of th…

The impact of thermodynamics on gravitational collapse: filament formation and magnetic field amplification
Thomas Peters, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Ralf S. Klessen +4
Stars form by the gravitational collapse of interstellar gas. The thermodynamic response of the gas can be characterized by an effective equation of state. It determines how gas he…
