The Bones of the Milky Way
Alyssa A. Goodman, Joao Alves, Christopher N. Beaumont +8
The very long and thin infrared dark cloud "Nessie" is even longer than had been previously claimed, and an analysis of its Galactic location suggests that it lies directly in the…
On the nature of star-forming filaments: I. Filament morphologies
Rowan J. Smith, Simon C. O. Glover, Ralf. S. Klessen
We use a suite of high resolution molecular cloud simulations carried out with the moving mesh code Arepo to explore the nature of star-forming filaments. The simulated filaments a…
Low-metallicity star formation: Relative impact of metals and magnetic fields
Thomas Peters, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Rowan J. Smith +2
Low-metallicity star formation poses a central problem of cosmology, as it determines the characteristic mass scale and distribution for the first and second generations of stars f…
CO-dark gas and molecular filaments in Milky Way type galaxies
Rowan J. Smith, Simon C. O. Glover, Paul C. Clark +2
We use the moving mesh code AREPO coupled to a time-dependent chemical network to investigate the formation and destruction of molecular gas in simulated spiral galaxies. This allo…
Line Profiles of Cores within Clusters. III. What is the most reliable tracer of core collapse in dense clusters?
Roxana-Adela Chira, Rowan J. Smith, Ralf S. Klessen +2
Recent observational and theoretical investigations have emphasised the importance of filamentary networks within molecular clouds as sites of star formation. Since such environmen…
