Probes of turbulent driving mechanisms in molecular clouds from fluctuations in synchrotron intensity
C. A. Herron, C. Federrath, B. M. Gaensler +3
Previous studies have shown that star formation depends on the driving of molecular cloud turbulence, and differences in the driving can produce an order of magnitude difference in…
Magnetic field amplification in turbulent astrophysical plasmas
Christoph Federrath
Magnetic fields play an important role in astrophysical accretion discs, and in the interstellar and intergalactic medium. They drive jets, suppress fragmentation in star-forming c…
The link between solenoidal turbulence and slow star formation in G0.253+0.016
C. Federrath, J. M. Rathborne, S. N. Longmore +8
Star formation in the Galactic disc is primarily controlled by gravity, turbulence, and magnetic fields. It is not clear that this also applies to star formation near the Galactic…
The link between turbulence, magnetic fields, filaments, and star formation in the Central Molecular Zone cloud G0.253+0.016
C. Federrath, J. M. Rathborne, S. N. Longmore +8
Star formation is primarily controlled by the interplay between gravity, turbulence, and magnetic fields. However, the turbulence and magnetic fields in molecular clouds near the G…
Extreme Scale-out SuperMUC Phase 2 - lessons learned
Nicolay Hammer, Ferdinand Jamitzky, Helmut Satzger +36
In spring 2015, the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (Leibniz-Rechenzentrum, LRZ), installed their new Peta-Scale System SuperMUC Phase2. Selected users were invited for a 28 day extr…
SHOCKFIND - An algorithm to identify magnetohydrodynamic shock waves in turbulent clouds
Andrew Lehmann, Christoph Federrath, Mark Wardle
The formation of stars occurs in the dense molecular cloud phase of the interstellar medium. Observations and numerical simulations of molecular clouds have shown that supersonic m…
