ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions XVII. High-mass star-formation through a large-scale collapse in IRAS 153945358

Swagat R. Das, Manuel Merello, Leonardo Bronfman +23

Hub-filament systems are considered as natural sites for high-mass star formation. Kinematic analysis of the surroundings of hub-filaments is essential to better understand high-ma…

Gravity or turbulence? VII. The Schmidt-Kennicutt law, the star formation efficiency, and the mass density of clusters from gravitational collapse rather than turbulent support

Manuel Zamora-Aviles, Vianey Camacho, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes +7

We explore the Schmidt-Kennicutt (SK) relations and the star formation efficiency per free-fall time (), mirroring observational studies, in numerical simulations of fi…

The Turbulent Support (TS) and Global Hierarchical Collapse (GHC) models for molecular clouds compared. Differences, convergence, and myths

Enrique Vázquez-Semadeni, Aina Palau, Gilberto C. Gómez +8

We provide a detailed comparison between the ``turbulent support'' (TS) and ``global hierarchical collapse'' (GHC) models for molecular clouds and star formation, their respective…

The role of shocks and the velocity gradient in the relative orientation of the magnetic field and dense gas clouds

Guido Granda-Muñoz, Enrique Vázquez-Semadeni, Gilberto C. Gómez

We investigate the alignment mechanism between the magnetic field and interstellar clouds formed by the collision of warm atomic gas. We find that the magnetic field, initially ori…

On the properties and implications of collapse-driven MHD turbulence

Enrique Vázquez-Semadeni, Yue Hu, Siyao Xu +2

We numerically investigate the driving of MHD turbulence by gravitational contraction using simulations of an initially spherical, magnetically supercritical cloud core with initia…

Formation and Collapse of Quiescent Cloud Cores Induced by Dynamic Compressions

Gilberto C. Gómez, Enrique Vázquez-Semadeni, Mohsen Shadmehri +1

(Abridged) We present numerical hydrodynamical simulations of the formation, evolution and gravitational collapse of isothermal molecular cloud cores. A compressive wave is set up…
