The formation of young massive clusters by colliding flows
C. L. Dobbs, K. Y. Liow, S. Rieder
Young massive clusters (YMCs) are the most intense regions of star formation in galaxies. Formulating a model for YMC formation whilst at the same time meeting the constraints from…
Comparing the Properties of GMCs in M33 from Simulations and Observations
C. L. Dobbs, E. Rosolowsky, A. R. Pettitt +3
We compare the properties of clouds in simulated M33 galaxies to those observed in the real M33. We apply a friends of friends algorithm and CPROPS to identify clouds, as well as a…
Simulating the impact of the Smith Cloud
C. Alig, S. Hammer, N. Borodatchenkova +2
We investigate the future evolution of the Smith Cloud by performing hydrodynamical simulations of the cloud impact onto the gaseous Milky Way Galactic disk. We assume a local orig…
The evolution of Giant Molecular Filaments
A. Duarte-Cabral, C. L. Dobbs
In recent years there has been a growing interest in studying giant molecular filaments (GMFs), which are extremely elongated (> 100pc in length) giant molecular clouds (GMCs). The…
The formation of molecular clouds in spiral galaxies
C. L. Dobbs, I. A. Bonnell, J. E. Pringle
We present Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of molecular cloud formation in spiral galaxies. These simulations model the response of a non-self-gravitating gaseous…
