SMBH Spherically Symmetric Accretion Regulated by Violent Star Formation Feedback

S. Silich, F. Hueyotl-Zahuantitla, G. Tenorio-Tagle

The mounting evidence for violent nuclear star formation in Seyfert galaxies has led us to consider the hydrodynamics of the matter reinserted by massive stars through strong stell…

Spherically-symmetric Accretion onto a Black Hole at the Center of a Young Stellar Cluster

Sergiy Silich, Guillermo Tenorio-Tagle, Filiberto Hueyotl-Zahuantitla

We present a self-consistent, bimodal stationary solution for spherically symmetric flows driven by young massive stellar clusters with a central supermassive black hole. We demons…

On the origin of the neutral hydrogen supershells: the ionized progenitors and the limitations of the multiple supernovae hypothesis

Sergiy Silich, Federico Elias, José Franco

Here we address the question whether the ionized shells associated with giant HII regions can be progenitors of the larger HI shell-like objects found in the Milky Way and other sp…

The pressure confined wind of the massive and compact superstar cluster M82-A1

Sergiy Silich, Guillermo Tenorio-Tagle, Casiana Munoz-Tunon

The observed parameters of the young superstar cluster M82-A1 and its associated compact HII region are here shown to indicate a low heating efficiency or immediate loss, through r…

Super stellar clusters with a bimodal hydrodynamic solution: an Approximate Analytic Approach

R. Wunsch, S. Silich, J. Palous +1

We look for a simple analytic model to distinguish between stellar clusters undergoing a bimodal hydrodynamic solution from those able to drive only a stationary wind. Clusters in…

On the hydrodynamics of the matter reinserted within superstellar clusters

Guillermo Tenorio-Tagle, Richard Wunsch, Sergiy Silich +1

We present semi-analytical and numerical models, accounting for the impact of radiative cooling on the hydrodynamics of the matter reinserted as strong stellar winds and supernovae…

On the Extreme Positive Feedback Star-Forming Mode from Massive and Compact Superstar Clusters

Guillermo Tenorio-Tagle, Sergiy Silich, Ary Rodriguez Gonzalez +1

The force of gravity acting within the volume occupied by young, compact and massive superstar clusters, is here shown to drive in situ all the matter deposited by winds and supern…

Superstellar clusters and their impact on their host galaxies

Guillermo Tenorio-Tagle, Sergiy Silich, Casiana Munoz-Tunon

We review the properties of young superstellar clusters and the impact that their evolution has in their host galaxies. In particular we look at the two different star-forming feed…

On the extreme stationary outflows from super-star clusters: from superwinds to supernebulae and further massive star formation

Guillermo Tenorio-Tagle, Sergiy Silich, Ary Rodriguez-Gonzalez +1

The properties of star cluster winds in the supercritical, catastrophic cooling regime are discussed. We demonstrate that strong radiative cooling may inhibit superwinds and, after…

How old are the HII Galaxies?

Roberto Terlevich, Sergiy Silich, Daniel Rosa-Gonzalez +1

Using a novel approach we have reanalized the question of whether the extreme star forming galaxies known as HII galaxies are truly young or rejuvenated old systems. We first prese…

On the formation of massive stellar clusters

Guillermo Tenorio-Tagle, Jan Palous, Sergiy Silich +2

Here we model a star forming factory in which the continuous creation of stars results in a highly concentrated, massive (globular cluster-like) stellar system. We show that under…
