The Formation of Stars -- From Filaments to Cores to Protostars and Protoplanetry Disks
James Di Francesco, Helen Kirk, Doug Johnstone +16
Star formation involves the flow of gas and dust within molecular clouds into protostars and young stellar objects (YSOs) due to gravity. Along the way, these flows are shaped sign…
The Transition from a Lognormal to a Power-Law Column Density Distribution in Molecular Clouds: An Imprint of the Initial Magnetic Field and Turbulence
Sayantan Auddy, Shantanu Basu, Takahiro Kudoh
We introduce a theory for the development of a transitional column density between the lognormal and the power-law forms of the probability distribution function (PDF)…
Probing the cold magnetized Universe with SPICA-POL (B-BOP)
Ph. André, A. Hughes, V. Guillet +53
SPICA, the cryogenic infrared space telescope recently pre-selected for a `Phase A' concept study as one of the three remaining candidates for ESA's fifth medium class (M5) mission…
The First Two Thousand Years of Star Formation
Masahiro N. Machida, Shantanu Basu
Starting from a prestellar core with a size of AU, we calculate the evolution of a gravitationally collapsing core until yr after protostar formation usi…
Magnetic Field Structure of Dense Cores using Spectroscopic Methods
Sayantan Auddy, Philip C. Myers, Shantanu Basu +3
We develop a new ''core field structure'' (CFS) model to predict the magnetic field strength and magnetic field fluctuation profile of dense cores using gas kinematics. We use spat…
