Determining Star Formation Thresholds from Observations
Shivan Khullar, Mark R. Krumholz, Christoph Federrath +1
Most gas in giant molecular clouds is relatively low-density and forms star inefficiently, converting only a small fraction of its mass to stars per dynamical time. However, star f…
The Effects of Magnetic Fields and Protostellar Feedback on Low-mass Cluster Formation
Andrew J. Cunningham, Mark R. Krumholz, Christopher F. McKee +1
We present a large suite of simulations of the formation of low-mass star clusters. Our simulations include an extensive set of physical processes -- magnetohydrodynamics, radiativ…
The Turbulent Origin of Spin-Orbit Misalignment in Planetary Systems
Drummond B. Fielding, Christopher F. McKee, Aristotle Socrates +2
The turbulent environment from which stars form may lead to misalignment between the stellar spin and the remnant protoplanetary disk. By using hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic…
Bondi-Hoyle Accretion in an Isothermal Magnetized Plasma
Aaron T. Lee, Andrew J. Cunningham, Christopher F. McKee +1
In regions of star formation, protostars and newborn stars accrete mass from their natal clouds. These clouds are threaded by magnetic fields with a strength characterized by the p…
The Fragmentation of Magnetized, Massive Star-Forming Cores with Radiative Feedback
Andrew T. Myers, Christopher F. McKee, Andrew J. Cunningham +2
We present a set of 3-dimensional, radiation-magnetohydrodynamic calculations of the gravitational collapse of massive (300 Msun), star-forming molecular cloud cores. We show that…
Radiatively Efficient Magnetized Bondi Accretion
Andrew J. Cunningham, Christopher F. McKee, Richard I. Klein +2
We have carried out a numerical study of the effect of large scale magnetic fields on the rate of accretion from a uniform, isothermal gas onto a resistive, stationary point mass.…
