A Turbulent-Entropic Instability and the Fragmentation of Star-Forming Clouds
Eric Keto, George B. Field, Eric G. Blackman
The kinetic energy of supersonic turbulence within interstellar clouds is subject to cooling by dissipation in shocks and subsequent line radiation. The clouds are therefore suscep…
Synthesizing Observations and Theory to Understand Galactic Magnetic Fields: Progress and Challenges
Rainer Beck, Luke Chamandy, Ed Elson +1
Constraining dynamo theories of magnetic field origin by observation is indispensable but challenging, in part because the basic quantities measured by observers and predicted by m…
Cloud fragmentation cascades and feedback: on reconciling an unfettered inertial range with a low star formation rate
Eric G. Blackman
Molecular cloud complexes exhibit both (i) an unfettered Larson-type spectrum over much of their dynamic range, whilst (ii) still producing a much lower star-formation rate than we…
Understanding Mass-Loss and the late Evolution of Intermediate Mass Stars: Jets, Disks, Binarity, Dust and Magnetic Fields
Raghvendra Sahai, Bruce Balick, Eric Blackman +7
Almost all stars in the 1-8 Msun range evolve through the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB), preplanetary nebula (PPN) and planetary nebula (PN) evolutionary phases. Most stars that le…
