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…

The Minimum Mass for Opacity-Limited Fragmentation in Turbulent Cloud Cores
D. F. A. Boyd, A. P. Whitworth
We present a new analysis of the minimum mass for star formation, based on opacity-limited fragmentation. Our analysis differs from the standard one, which considers hierarchical f…
