Reorienting MHD Colliding Flows: A Shock Physics Mechanism for Generating Filaments Normal to Magnetic Fields
Erica L. Fogerty, Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, Adam Frank +2
We present numerical simulations of reorienting oblique shocks that form in the collision layer between magnetized colliding flows. Reorientation aligns parsec-scale post-shock fil…
The inner cavity of the circumnuclear disc
Marvin Blank, Mark R. Morris, Adam Frank +2
The circumnuclear disc (CND) orbiting the Galaxy's central black hole is a reservoir of material that can ultimately provide energy through accretion, or form stars in the presence…
Molecular cloud formation in high-shear, magnetized colliding flows
Erica Fogerty, Adam Frank, Fabian Heitsch +3
The colliding flows (CF) model is a well-supported mechanism for generating molecular clouds. However, to-date most CF simulations have focused on the formation of clouds in the no…
The Effects of Inhomogeneities within Colliding Flows on the Formation and Evolution of Molecular Clouds
Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, Adam Frank, Fabian Heitsch
Observational evidence from local star-forming regions mandates that star formation occurs shortly after, or even during, molecular cloud formation. Models of the formation of mole…
