Timescales for Low-Mass Star Formation in Extragalactic Environments: Implications for the Stellar IMF
Manda Banerji, Serena Viti, David A. Williams +1
We investigate the physical and chemical conditions necessary for low-mass star formation in extragalactic environments by calculating various characteristic timescales associated…
Molecular tracers of high mass star-formation in external galaxies
E. Bayet, S. Viti, D. A. Williams +1
Hot core molecules should be detectable in external active galaxies out to high redshift. We present here a detailed study of the chemistry of star-forming regions under physical c…
Desorption From Interstellar Ices
J. F. Roberts, J. M. C. Rawlings, S. Viti +1
The desorption of molecular species from ice mantles back into the gas phase in molecular clouds results from a variety of very poorly understood processes. We have investigated th…
Dense and diffuse gas in dynamically active clouds
R. T. Garrod, D. A. Williams, J. M. C. Rawlings
We investigate the chemical and observational implications of repetitive transient dense core formation in molecular clouds. We allow a transient density fluctuation to form and di…
Molecular line intensities as measures of cloud masses - I. Sensitivity of CO emissions to physical parameter variations
T. A. Bell, E. Roueff, S. Viti +1
A reliable estimate of the molecular gas content in galaxies plays a crucial role in determining their dynamical and star-forming properties. However, H2, the dominant molecular sp…
Molecular Clouds as Ensembles of Transient Cores
R. T. Garrod, D. A. Williams, J. M. C. Rawlings
We construct models of molecular clouds that are considered as ensembles of transient cores. Each core is assumed to develop in the background gas of the cloud, grow to high densit…
