Star-forming accretion flows and the low luminosity nuclei of giant elliptical galaxies
Jonathan C. Tan, E. G. Blackman
The luminosities of the centers of nearby elliptical galaxies are very low compared to models of thin disc accretion to their black holes at the Bondi rate, typically a few hundred…
The Timescale and Mode of Star Formation in Clusters
Jonathan C. Tan
I discuss two questions about the origin of star clusters: How long does the process take? What is the mode of individual star formation? I argue that observations of Galactic star…
Feedback and Formation of Massive Star Clusters in Giant Molecular Clouds
Jonathan C. Tan, Christopher F. McKee
It is well known that the energy input from massive stars dominates the thermal and mechanical heating of typical regions in the interstellar medium of galaxies. These effects are…
The Variability of Gamma-Ray Bursts that Create Afterglows
Joseph A. Munoz, Jonathan C. Tan
We consider whether the variability properties of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) that produce bright optical and longer wavelength transient afterglows (A-GRBs) are the same as a larger,…
The Becklin-Neugebauer Object as a Runaway B Star, Ejected 4000 years ago from the theta^1C system
Jonathan C. Tan
We attempt to explain the properties of the Becklin-Neugebauer (BN) object as a runaway B star, as originally proposed by Plambeck et al. (1995). This is one of the best-studied br…
