Early Evolution and 3D Structure of Embedded Star Clusters

Claude Cournoyer-Cloutier, Alison Sills, William E. Harris +8

We perform simulations of star cluster formation to investigate the morphological evolution of embedded star clusters in the earliest stages of their evolution. We conduct our simu…

Early-Forming Massive Stars Suppress Star Formation and Hierarchical Cluster Assembly

Sean C. Lewis, Stephen L. W. McMillan, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +8

Feedback from massive stars plays an important role in the formation of star clusters. Whether a very massive star is born early or late in the cluster formation timeline has profo…

Compositional Convection in the Deep Interior of Uranus

Dustin J. Hill, Krista M. Soderlund, Stephen L. W. McMillan

Uranus and Neptune share properties that are distinct from the other giant planets in the solar system, but they are also distinct from one another, particularly in their relative…

Chaos in self-gravitating many-body systems: Lyapunov time dependence of and the influence of general relativity

Simon F. Portegies Zwart, Tjarda C. N. Boekholt, Emiel Por +2

In self-gravitating -body systems, small perturbations introduced at the start, or infinitesimal errors that are produced by the numerical integrator or are due to limited preci…

Implementing Primordial Binaries in Simulations of Star Cluster Formation with a Hybrid MHD and Direct N-Body Method

Claude Cournoyer-Cloutier, Aaron Tran, Sean Lewis +6

The fraction of stars in binary systems within star clusters is important for their evolution, but what proportion of binaries form by dynamical processes after initial stellar acc…

Modelling of the Effects of Stellar Feedback during Star Cluster Formation Using a Hybrid Gas and N-Body Method

Joshua E. Wall, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Stephen L. W. McMillan +3

Understanding the formation of stellar clusters requires following the interplay between gas and newly formed stars accurately. We therefore couple the magnetohydrodynamics code FL…
