Numerical simulations of protostellar encounters III. Non-coplanar disc-disc encounters
S. J. Watkins, A. S. Bhattal, H. M. J. Boffin +2
It is expected that an average protostar will undergo at least one impulsive interaction with a neighbouring protostar whilst a large fraction of its mass is still in a massive, ex…
Numerical simulations of protostellar encounters II. Coplanar disc-disc encounters
S. J. Watkins, A. S. Bhattal, H. M. J. Boffin +2
It is expected that an average protostar will undergo at least one impulsive interaction with a neighbouring protostar whilst a large fraction of its mass is still in a massive, ex…
Numerical simulations of protostellar encounters I. Star-disc encounters
H. M. J. Boffin, S. J. Watkins, A. S. Bhattal +2
It appears that most stars are born in clusters, and that at birth most stars have circumstellar discs which are comparable in size to the separations between the stars. Interactio…
Dynamically triggered star formation in giant molecular clouds
A. S. Bhattal, N. Francis, S. J. Watkins +1
A Lagrangian, particle-based numerical method (tree code gravity plus smoothed particle hydrodynamics) was used to simulate clump-clump collisions occurring within GMCs. The collis…
