On the role of gravity, turbulence, and the magnetic field in angular momentum transfer within molecular clouds
Griselda Arroyo-Chavez, Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni, James Wurster
Observations of molecular structures on scales of pc show that the specific angular momentum () scales with radius () as . We study the effects o…
The Role of Drag and Gravity on Dust Concentration in a Gravitationally Unstable Disc
Sahl Rowther, Rebecca Nealon, Farzana Meru +5
We carry out three dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations to study the role of gravitational and drag forces on the concentration of large dust grains (St > 1) in…
Star-forming environments in smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics simulations II: Re-simulating isolated clumps to determine equivalence of extracted clumps and parent simulations
James Wurster, Connar Rowan
What is the numerical reproducibility of a stellar system (including its discs) when evolving only a sub-set of (partially-evolved) smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) particles?…
Star-forming environments in smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics simulations I: Clump extraction and properties
James Wurster, Connar Rowan
What is the nature of a star forming clump? Observations reveal these to be chaotic environments being modified and influenced by many physical processes. However, numerical simula…
Gas and star kinematics in cloud-cloud collisions
James Wurster, Ian A. Bonnell
We model the collision of molecular clouds to investigate the role of the initial properties on the remnants. Our clouds collide and evolve in a background medium that is approxima…
Rogue planets and brown dwarfs: Predicting the populations of free-floating planetary mass objects observable with JWST
Aleks Scholz, Koraljka Muzic, Ray Jayawardhana +2
Free-floating (or rogue) planets are planets that are liberated (or ejected) from their host systems. Although simulations predict their existence in substantial numbers, direct ob…
