On the alpha formalism for the common envelope interaction
Orsola De Marco, Jean-Claude Passy, Maxwell Moe +3
The α-formalism is a common way to parametrize the common envelope interaction between a giant star and a more compact companion. The α parameter describes the fraction of orbital…
The Interplay of Magnetic Fields, Fragmentation and Ionization Feedback in High-Mass Star Formation
Thomas Peters, Robi Banerjee, Ralf S. Klessen +1
Massive stars disproportionately influence their surroundings. How they form has only started to become clear recently through radiation gas dynamical simulations. However, until n…
Modeling High-Mass Star Formation and Ultracompact HII Regions
Ralf S. Klessen, Thomas Peters, Robi Banerjee +3
Massive stars influence the surrounding universe far out of proportion to their numbers through ionizing radiation, supernova explosions, and heavy element production. Their format…
Limiting Accretion onto Massive Stars by Fragmentation-Induced Starvation
Thomas Peters, Ralf S. Klessen, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +1
Massive stars influence their surroundings through radiation, winds, and supernova explosions far out of proportion to their small numbers. However, the physical processes that ini…
Understanding Spatial and Spectral Morphologies of Ultracompact H II Regions
Thomas Peters, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Robi Banerjee +2
The spatial morphology, spectral characteristics, and time variability of ultracompact H II regions provide strong constraints on the process of massive star formation. We have per…
On the Relationship Between Molecular Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide Abundances in Molecular Clouds
S. C. O. Glover, M. -M. Mac Low
The most usual tracer of molecular gas is line emission from CO. However, the reliability of that tracer has long been questioned in environments different from the Milky Way. We s…
