WIMP DM and first stars: suppression of fragmentation in primordial star formation
Rowan J. Smith, Fabio Iocco, Simon C. O. Glover +4
We present the first 3D simulations to include the effects of dark matter annihilation feedback during the collapse of primordial mini-halos. We begin our simulations from cosmolog…
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…
Formation and evolution of primordial protostellar systems
Thomas H. Greif, Volker Bromm, Paul C. Clark +5
We investigate the formation of the first stars at the end of the cosmic dark ages with a suite of three-dimensional, moving mesh simulations that directly resolve the collapse of…
Line Profiles of Cores within Clusters: I. The Anatomy of a Filament
Rowan J. Smith, Rahul Shetty, Amelia M. Stutz +1
Observations are revealing the ubiquity of filamentary structures in molecular clouds. As cores are often embedded in filaments, it is important to understand how line profiles fro…
