A Model of the H and Na Transmission Spectrum of HD 189733b
Chenliang Huang, Phil Arras, Duncan Christie +1
This paper presents a detailed hydrostatic model of the upper atmosphere of HD 189733b, with the goal of constraining its temperature, particle densities, and radiation field over…
GMC Collisions as Triggers of Star Formation. VI. Collision-Induced Turbulence
Benjamin Wu, Jonathan C. Tan, Fumitaka Nakamura +2
We investigate collisions between giant molecular clouds (GMCs) as potential generators of their internal turbulence. Using magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of self-gravitatin…
GMC Collisions As Triggers of Star Formation. IV. The Role of Ambipolar Diffusion
Duncan Christie, Benjamin Wu, Jonathan C. Tan
We investigate the role of ambipolar diffusion (AD) in collisions between magnetized giant molecular clouds (GMCs), which may be an important mechanism for triggering star cluster…
The Interstellar Medium and Star Formation of Galactic Disks. I. ISM and GMC properties with Diffuse FUV and Cosmic Ray Backgrounds
Qi Li, Jonathan C. Tan, Duncan Christie +2
We present a series of adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) hydrodynamic simulations of flat rotation curve galactic gas disks with a detailed treatment of the interstellar medium (ISM)…
GMC Collisions as Triggers of Star Formation. III. Density and Magnetically Regulated Star Formation
Benjamin Wu, Jonathan C. Tan, Duncan Christie +3
We study giant molecular cloud (GMC) collisions and their ability to trigger star cluster formation. We further develop our three dimensional magnetized, turbulent, colliding GMC s…
