The Impact of Radiation Environment on the Evolution and Fragmentation of Protostellar Discs
Matt T. Cusack, Paul C. Clark, Ken Rice +5
We present high-resolution zoom-in simulations of molecular clouds exposed to an interstellar radiation field and cosmic ray ionisation rate up to 1000 times stronger than that of…
Orbital statistics of multiple systems formed from small- subclusters
Hannah Ambrose, Anthony Whitworth
We use numerical -body experiments to explore the statistics of multiple systems formed in small- subclusters, i.e. the distributions of orbital semi-major axis, , orbital…
The fragmentation of molecular clouds in starburst environments
Matt T. Cusack, Paul C. Clark, Simon C. O. Glover +4
A significant amount of star formation occurs and has occurred in environments unlike the solar neighbourhood. The majority of stars formed closer to the peak of the cosmic star fo…
The formation of multiples in small- subclusters
Hannah E. Ambrose, A. P. Whitworth
We explore the relative percentages of binary systems and higher-order multiples that are formed by pure stellar dynamics, within a small subcluster of stars. The subcluster is…
