Stellar mass spectrum within massive collapsing clumps II. Thermodynamics and tidal forces of the first Larson core
Yueh-Ning Lee, Patrick Hennebelle
We investigate the dependence of the peak of the IMF on the physics of the so-called first Larson core, which corresponds to the point where the dust becomes opaque to its own radi…
Stellar mass spectrum within massive collapsing clumps I. Influence of the initial conditions
Yueh-Ning Lee, Patrick Hennebelle
We conduct numerical experiments in which we systematically vary the initial density over four orders of magnitude and the turbulent velocity over a factor ten. In a companion pape…
Analytical core mass function (CMF) from filaments: Under which circumstances can filament fragmentation reproduce the CMF?
Yueh-Ning Lee, Patrick Hennebelle, Gilles Chabrier
Observations suggest that star formation in filamentary molecular clouds occurs in a two-step process, with the formation of filaments preceding that of prestellar cores and stars.…
Spin alignment of stars in old open clusters
Enrico Corsaro, Yueh-Ning Lee, Rafael A. García +6
Stellar clusters form by gravitational collapse of turbulent molecular clouds, with up to several thousand stars per cluster. They are thought to be the birthplace of most stars an…
