Supernova feedback and the energy deposition in molecular clouds
William E. Lucas, Ian A. Bonnell, James E. Dale
Feedback from supernovae is often invoked as an important process in limiting star formation, removing gas from galaxies and hence as a determining process in galaxy formation. Her…
The origins of post-starburst galaxies at z<0.05
Milena M. Pawlik, Layth Taj Aldeen, Vivienne Wild +8
Post-starburst galaxies can be identified via the presence of prominent Hydrogen Balmer absorption lines in their spectra. We present a comprehensive study of the origin of strong…
A clustered origin for isolated massive stars
William E. Lucas, Matus Rybak, Ian A. Bonnell +1
High-mass stars are commonly found in stellar clusters promoting the idea that their formation occurs due to the physical processes linked with a young stellar cluster. It has rece…
Can the removal of molecular cloud envelopes by external feedback affect the efficiency of star formation?
William Lucas, Ian Bonnell, Duncan Forgan
We investigate how star formation efficiency can be significantly decreased by the removal of a molecular cloud's envelope by feedback from an external source. Feedback from star f…
Tensor classification of structure in smoothed particle hydrodynamics density fields
Duncan Forgan, Ian Bonnell, William Lucas +1
As hydrodynamic simulations increase in scale and resolution, identifying structures with non-trivial geometries or regions of general interest becomes increasingly challenging. Th…
Forming misaligned stellar discs around a massive black hole: Cloud infall in the Galactic Centre
William Lucas, Ian Bonnell, Melvyn Davies +1
The innermost parsec around Sgr A* has been found to play host to two discs or streamers of O and W-R stars. They are misaligned by an angle approaching 90 degrees. That the stars…
