Molecular hydrogen formation on dust: The impact of gas-dust drift on formation efficiency
Stefan Reissl, Simon C. O. Glover, Ralf S. Klessen +2
Molecular hydrogen is predominantly formed on dust-grain surfaces in the interstellar medium, where relative gas-dust motion can arise in dynamically active environments. While the…
Massive star cluster formation III. Early mass segregation during cluster assembly
Brooke Polak, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Ralf S. Klessen +6
Mass segregation is seen in many star clusters, but whether massive stars form in the center of a cluster or migrate there dynamically is still debated. N-body simulations have sho…
Massive star cluster formation II. Runaway stars as fossils of sub-cluster mergers
Brooke Polak, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Ralf S. Klessen +6
Two main mechanisms have classically been proposed for the formation of runaway stars. In the binary supernova scenario (BSS), a massive star in a binary explodes as a supernova, e…
Massive star cluster formation I. High star formation efficiency while resolving feedback of individual stars
Brooke Polak, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Ralf S. Klessen +11
The mode of star formation that results in the formation of globular clusters and young massive clusters is difficult to constrain through observations. We present models of massiv…
Pre-supernova feedback sets the star cluster mass function to a power law and reduces the cluster formation efficiency
Eric P. Andersson, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Oscar Agertz +2
The star cluster initial mass function is observed to have an inverse power law exponent around 2, yet there is no consensus on what determines this distribution, and why some vari…
Dust dynamics in current sheets within protoplanetary disks. I. Isothermal models including ambipolar diffusion and Ohmic resistivity
U. Lebreuilly, M. -M. Mac Low, B. Commerçon +1
Context: Chondrules originate from the reprocessing of dust grains. They are key building blocks of telluric planets, yet their formation, which must happen in strongly localized r…
