The Fragmentation of Magnetized, Massive Star-Forming Cores with Radiative Feedback
Andrew T. Myers, Christopher F. McKee, Andrew J. Cunningham +2
We present a set of 3-dimensional, radiation-magnetohydrodynamic calculations of the gravitational collapse of massive (300 Msun), star-forming molecular cloud cores. We show that…
Ambipolar Diffusion Heating in Turbulent Systems
Pak Shing Li, Andrew Myers, Christopher F. McKee
The temperature of the gas in molecular clouds is a key determinant of the characteristic mass of star formation. Ambipolar diffusion (AD) is considered one of the most important h…
Metallicity and the Universality of the IMF
Andrew T. Myers, Mark R. Krumholz, Richard I. Klein +1
The stellar initial mass function (IMF), along with the star formation rate, is one of the fundamental properties that any theory of star formation must explain. An interesting fea…
