Filaments and striations: anisotropies in observed, supersonic, highly-magnetised turbulent clouds
James R. Beattie, Christoph Federrath
Stars form in highly-magnetised, supersonic turbulent molecular clouds. Many of the tools and models that we use to carry out star formation studies rely upon the assumption of clo…
Visualizing the world's largest turbulence simulation
Salvatore Cielo, Luigi Iapichino, Johannes Günther +3
In this exploratory submission we present the visualization of the largest interstellar turbulence simulations ever performed, unravelling key astrophysical processes concerning th…
Molecular cloud formation by compression of magnetized turbulent gas subjected to radiative cooling
Ankush Mandal, Christoph Federrath, Bastian Körtgen
Complex turbulent motions of magnetized gas are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium. The source of this turbulence, however, is still poorly understood. Previous work suggests th…
The role of the H adiabatic index in the formation of the first stars
Piyush Sharda, Mark R. Krumholz, Christoph Federrath
The adiabatic index of H () is non-constant at temperatures between due to the large energy spacing between its rotational and vibrat…
Rest-frame UV and optical emission line diagnostics of ionised gas properties: a test case in a star-forming knot of a lensed galaxy at z~1.7
Ayan Acharyya, Lisa J. Kewley, Jane R. Rigby +7
We examine the diagnostic power of rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) nebular emission lines, and compare them to more commonly used rest-frame optical emission lines, using the test case…
The relation between the turbulent Mach number and observed fractal dimensions of turbulent clouds
James R. Beattie, Christoph Federrath, Ralf S. Klessen +1
Supersonic turbulence is a key player in controlling the structure and star formation potential of molecular clouds (MCs). The three-dimensional (3D) turbulent Mach number, $\mathc…
