The fragmentation of expanding shells III: Oligarchic accretion and the mass spectrum of fragments
James E. Dale, Richard Wunsch, Rowan J. Smith +2
We use SPH simulations to investigate the gravitational fragmentation of expanding shells through the linear and non--linear regimes. The results are analysed using spherical harmo…
A quantification of the non-spherical geometry and accretion of collapsing cores
Rowan J. Smith, Simon C. O. Glover, Ian A. Bonnell +2
We present the first detailed classification of the structures of Class 0 cores in a high resolution simulation of a giant molecular cloud. The simulated cloud contains 10^4 solar…
The efficiency of star formation in clustered and distributed regions
Ian A. Bonnell, Rowan J. Smith, Paul C. Clark +1
We investigate the formation of both clustered and distributed populations of young stars in a single molecular cloud. We present a numerical simulation of a 10,000 solar mass elon…
The Effect of Environment on Massive Star Formation
Rowan J Smith, Paul C. Clark, Simon C. O. Glover +2
In this contribution we review our recent numerical work discussing the essential role of the local cluster environment in assembling massive stars. First we show that massive star…
