ALMAGAL VIII. Early phases of triggered star formation in source AG286.07161.8229

C. Mininni, S. Molinari, W. J. Kim +50

Several theoretical and observational studies have shown that new waves of triggered star-formation can be induced by the feedback from newly formed massive protostars, due to the…

Does supernova feedback regulate the star formation rate in dwarf galaxies?

D. Whitworth, E. Vázquez-Semadeni, J. Ballesteros-Paredes +1

Stars form in cold, dense clouds embedded in galactic discs, but whether their formation is primarily regulated by gravitational collapse, turbulence, or stellar feedback remains u…

Comparing the Relation inside a Giant Molecular Cloud

Carlos G. Román-Zúñiga, Aina Palau, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes +3

In this paper we present a simple analysis around scaling relations derived from the Schmidt conjecture for star-forming molecular clouds, at the intra-cloud scale. Using a hierarc…

Synthetic polarization observations of magnetized pillars in HII regions: Assessing the reliability of the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method

Luis Andrés Hernández-Cruz, Manuel Zamora-Avilés, Abraham Luna +6

We investigated the morphology and strength of magnetic fields in pillar-shaped structures at the boundaries of HII regions by combining three-dimensional radiation-magnetohydrodyn…

Pressure Regulated Formation of Molecular Clouds and Stars: The case of the Milky Way

José Franco, Aldo Rodríguez-Puebla, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes +1

We present a steady-state analytical model for pressure-regulated formation of molecular clouds (MC) and stars (SF) in gaseous galactic disks and apply it to the Milky Way (MW). MC…

Dynamical heating of newborn stars driven by accretion-induced orbital tightening

Vianey Camacho, Andrea Bonilla-Barroso, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes +2

In previous works, we have shown that stars in the Orion and the Lagoon Nebula Clusters, and simulations of collapsing clouds, exhibit constant velocity dispersion as a function of…
