Full one-fluid dusty gas with multiple grain species in SPH
Mark Hutchison, Guillaume Laibe, Giovanni Tedeschi-Prades +5
We present a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) implementation of the full one-fluid dusty gas algorithm for multiple dust species, generalising our previous terminal velocity a…
Contour Analysis Tool: an interactive tool for background and morphology analysis
Mark A. Hutchison, Christine M. Koepferl
We introduce the Contour Analysis Tool (CAT), a Python toolkit aimed at identifying and analyzing structural elements in density maps. CAT employs various contouring techniques, in…
Synthetic observations of star formation and the interstellar medium
Thomas J. Haworth, Simon C. O. Glover, Christine M. Koepferl +2
Synthetic observations are playing an increasingly important role across astrophysics, both for interpreting real observations and also for making meaningful predictions from model…
The FluxCompensator: Making Radiative Transfer Models of hydrodynamical Simulations Directly Comparable to Real Observations
Christine M. Koepferl, Thomas P. Robitaille
When modeling astronomical objects throughout the universe, it is important to correctly treat the limitations of the data, for instance finite resolution and sensitivity. In order…
Insights from Synthetic Star-forming Regions: III. Calibration of Measurement Techniques of Star-formation Rates
Christine M. Koepferl, Thomas P. Robitaille, James E. Dale
Through an extensive set of realistic synthetic observations (produced in Paper I), we assess in this part of the paper series (Paper III) how the choice of observational technique…
Insights from Synthetic Star-forming Regions: II. Verifying Dust Surface Density, Dust Temperature & Gas Mass Measurements with Modified Blackbody Fitting
Christine M. Koepferl, Thomas P. Robitaille, James E. Dale
We use a large data-set of realistic synthetic observations (PaperI) to assess how observational techniques affect the measurement of physical properties of star-forming regions. I…
Insights from Synthetic Star-forming Regions: I. Reliable Mock Observations from SPH Simulations
Christine M. Koepferl, Thomas P. Robitaille, James E. Dale +1
Through synthetic observations of a hydrodynamical simulation of an evolving star-forming region, we assess how the choice of observational techniques affects the measurements of p…
A network of filaments detected by Herschel in the Serpens Core: A laboratory to test simulations of low-mass star formation
V. Roccatagliata, J. E. Dale, T. Ratzka +6
Filaments represent a key structure during the early stages of the star formation process. Simulations show filamentary structure commonly formed before and during the formation of…
Far-infrared signatures and inner hole sizes of protoplanetary discs undergoing inside-out dust dispersal
Barbara Ercolano, Christine Koepferl, James Owen +1
By means of radiative transfer simulation we study the evolution of the far-infrared colours of protoplanetary discs undergoing inside-out dispersal, often referred to as transitio…
Main-sequence stars masquerading as Young Stellar Objects in the central molecular zone
Christine M. Koepferl, Thomas P. Robitaille, Esteban F. E. Morales +1
In contrast to most other galaxies, star-formation rates in the Milky Way can be estimated directly from Young Stellar Objects (YSOs). In the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) the star-…
Disc Clearing of Young Stellar Objects: Evidence for Fast Inside-out Dispersal
C. M. Koepferl, B. Ercolano, J. Dale +3
The time-scale over which and the modality by which young stellar objects (YSOs) disperse their circumstellar discs dramatically influences the eventual formation and evolution of…
The lifetime of protoplanetary discs: Observations and Theory
Barbara Ercolano, Christine Koepferl
The time-scale over which and modality by which young stellar objects (YSOs) disperse their circumstellar discs dramatically influences the eventual formation and evolution of plan…
