The dust temperatures of the prestellar cores in the rho Oph main cloud and in other star forming regions: consequences for the core mass function
D. Stamatellos, A. P. Whitworth, D. Ward-Thompson
We estimate the dust temperatures of the clumps in the rho Oph main cloud taking into account the 3D geometry of the region, and external heating from the interstellar radiation fi…
Radiative transfer and the energy equation in SPH simulations of star formation
D. Stamatellos, A. P. Whitworth, T. Bisbas +1
We introduce and test a new and highly efficient method for treating the thermal and radiative effects influencing the energy equation in SPH simulations of star formation. The met…
A VLA search for young protostars embedded in dense cores
D. Stamatellos, D. Ward-Thompson, A. P. Whitworth +1
Four dense cores, L1582A, L1689A, B133 and B68, classified as prestellar in terms of the absence of detectable NIR emission, are observed at radio wavelengths to investigate whethe…
The minimum mass for star formation, and the origin of binary brown dwarfs
A. P. Whitworth, D. Stamatellos
Our first aim is to calculate the minimum mass for Primary Fragmentation in a variety of potential star-formation scenarios, i.e. (i) hierarchical fragmentation of a 3-D medium; (i…
Observational characteristics of dense cores with deeply embedded young protostars
D. Stamatellos, A. P. Whitworth, S. P. Goodwin
Class 0 objects, which are thought to be the youngest protostars, are identified in terms of NIR or radio emission and/or the presence of molecular outflows. We present combined hy…
How to identify the youngest protostars
D. Stamatellos, A. P. Whitworth, D. F. A. Boyd +1
We study the transition from a prestellar core to a Class 0 protostar, using SPH to simulate the dynamical evolution, and a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to generate the SED…
