The Turbulent Dynamo in Highly Compressible Supersonic Plasmas
Christoph Federrath, Jennifer Schober, Stefano Bovino +1
The turbulent dynamo may explain the origin of cosmic magnetism. While the exponential amplification of magnetic fields has been studied for incompressible gases, little is known a…
Modeling jet and outflow feedback during star cluster formation
Christoph Federrath, Martin Schrön, Robi Banerjee +1
Powerful jets and outflows are launched from the protostellar disks around newborn stars. These outflows carry enough mass and momentum to transform the structure of their parent m…
Understanding star formation in molecular clouds II. Signatures of gravitational collapse of IRDCs
N. Schneider, T. Csengeri, R. S. Klessen +6
We analyse column density and temperature maps derived from Herschel dust continuum observations of a sample of massive infrared dark clouds (G11.11-0.12, G18.82-0.28, G28.37+0.07,…
An Observational Method to Measure the Relative Fractions of Solenoidal and Compressible Modes in Interstellar Clouds
C. M. Brunt, C. Federrath
We introduce a new method for observationally estimating the fraction of momentum density () power contained in solenoidal modes (for which $\nabla \cdot ρ{\mathbf{v…
Collective outflow from a small multiple stellar system
Thomas Peters, Pamela D. Klaassen, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +4
The formation of high-mass stars is usually accompanied by powerful protostellar outflows. Such high-mass outflows are not simply scaled-up versions of their lower-mass counterpart…
Unfolding the Laws of Star Formation: The Density Distribution of Molecular Clouds
Jouni Kainulainen, Christoph Federrath, Thomas Henning
The formation of stars shapes the structure and evolution of entire galaxies. The rate and efficiency of this process are affected substantially by the density structure of the ind…
