The formation and early evolution of embedded star clusters in spiral galaxies
Steven Rieder, Clare Dobbs, Thomas Bending +2
We present Ekster, a new method for simulating star clusters from birth in a live galaxy simulation that combines the smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method Phantom with the…
The impact of non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic processes on discs, outflows, counter-rotation and magnetic walls during the early stages of star formation
James Wurster, Matthew R. Bate, Ian A. Bonnell
Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) processes -- namely Ohmic resistivity, ambipolar diffusion and the Hall effect -- modify the early stages of the star formation process and the…
Investigating the role of magnetic fields in star formation using molecular line profiles
Charles Yin, Felix D. Priestley, James Wurster
Determining the importance of magnetic fields in star forming environments is hampered by the difficulty of accurately measuring both field strength and gas properties in molecular…
The properties of clusters, and the orientation of magnetic fields relative to filaments, in magnetohydrodynamic simulations of colliding clouds
C. L. Dobbs, J. Wurster
We have performed Smoothed Particle Magneto-Hydrodynamics (SPMHD) calculations of colliding clouds to investigate the formation of massive stellar clusters, adopting a timestep cri…
Do we need non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics to model protostellar discs?
James Wurster
We investigate and discuss protostellar discs in terms of where the various non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) processes are important. We find that the traditional picture of a…
