Synthetic observations of protostellar multiple systems
O. Lomax, A. P. Whitworth
Observations of protostars are often compared with synthetic observations of models in order to infer the underlying physical properties of the protostars. The majority of these mo…
A theoretical perspective on the formation and fragmentation of protostellar discs
A. P. Whitworth, O. D. Lomax
We discuss the factors influencing the formation and gravitational fragmentation of protostellar discs. We start with a review of how observations of prestellar cores can be analys…
Are the majority of Sun-like stars single?
A. P. Whitworth, O. Lomax
It has recently been suggested that, in the field, of Sun-like stars () are single. We argue her…
On the effects of solenoidal and compressive turbulence in prestellar cores
O. Lomax, A. P. Whitworth, D. A. Hubber
We present the results of an ensemble of SPH simulations that follow the evolution of prestellar cores for . All the cores have the same mass, and start with the sa…
Simulating star formation in Ophiuchus
O. Lomax, A. P. Whitworth, D. A. Hubber +2
We have simulated star formation in prestellar cores, using SPH and initial conditions informed by observations of the cores in Ophiuchus. Because the observations are limited to t…
Collisions in young triple systems
Krisada Rawiraswattana, Oliver Lomax, Simon P. Goodwin
We perform N-body simulations of young triple systems consisting of two low-mass companions orbiting around a significantly more massive primary. We find that, when the orbits of t…
