Number ratios of young stellar objects in embedded clusters

S. Schmeja, R. S. Klessen, D. Froebrich

Embedded clusters usually contain young stellar objects in different evolutionary stages. We investigate number ratios of objects in these classes in the star-forming regions rho O…

Gravoturbulent Star Cluster Formation

Ralf S. Klessen, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes, Yuexing Li +1

Stars form by gravoturbulent fragmentation of interstellar gas clouds. The supersonic turbulence ubiquitously observed in Galactic molecular gas generates strong density fluctuatio…

Star Formation in Turbulent Interstellar Gas

Ralf S. Klessen

Understanding the star formation process is central to much of modern astrophysics. For several decades it has been thought that stellar birth is primarily controlled by the interp…

Modeling Star Formation from Turbulent Fragmentation

Ralf Klessen

Star formation is intimately linked to the dynamical evolution of molecular clouds. Turbulent fragmentation determines where and when protostellar cores form, and how they contract…

MHD Turbulence in Star-Forming Clouds

Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Ralf Klessen, Fabian Heitsch

We review how supersonic turbulence can both prevent and promote the collapse of molecular clouds into stars. First we show that decaying turbulence cannot significantly delay coll…
