The Timescales of Embedded Star Formation as Observed in STARFORGE
Tobin M. Wainer, Julianne J. Dalcanton, Michael Y. GrudiÄ +7
Star formation occurs within dusty molecular clouds that are then disrupted by stellar feedback. However, the timing and physical mechanisms that govern the transition from deeply…
FORGE'd in the Early Universe: The Effect of Protostellar Outflows on Pop III Accretion
Yasmine J. Meziani, Philip F. Hopkins, Michael Y. GrudiÄ +3
We present a cosmological zoom-in radiation magneto-hydrodynamic (RMHD) simulation, using FORGE'd in FIRE, that follows the formation, growth, and evolution of a single metal-free…
Collision between molecular clouds IV: The role of feedback and magnetic field in head on collisions
Tabassum S. Tanvir, Michael Y. GrudiÄ
We systematically investigate how cloud-cloud collisions influence star formation, emphasizing the roles of collision velocity, magnetic field orientation, and radiative feedback.…
Further correction to the STARFORGE methods paper: Planck-mean dust opacities
Michael Y. GrudiÄ, Dávid Guszejnov, Philip F. Hopkins +2
The model for the Planck-mean dust opacity given in Appendix C of the STARFORGE simulations methods paper does not extrapolate well to low radiation temperature $T_{\rm ra…
Stellar populations in STARFORGE II: Comparison with observations
Juan P. Farias, Stella S. R. Offner, Ronan Kerr +1
Recent studies suggest that most star-forming regions in our Galaxy form stellar associations rather than bound clusters. We analyse models from the STARFORGE simulation suite, a s…
A Probabilistic Model to Estimate Number Densities from Column Densities in Molecular Clouds
Brandt A. L. Gaches, Michael Y. GrudiÄ
Constraining the physical and chemical evolution of molecular clouds is essential to our understanding of star formation. These investigations often necessitate knowledge of some l…
