The Physical Origin of the Stellar Initial Mass Function

P Hennebelle, MY Grudić - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2024‏ - annualreviews.org
Stars are among the most fundamental structures of our Universe. They comprise most of the

Effects of the environment and feedback physics on the initial mass function of stars in the STARFORGE simulations

D Guszejnov, MY Grudić, SSR Offner… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022‏ - academic.oup.com
One of the key mysteries of star formation is the origin of the stellar initial mass function
(IMF). The IMF is observed to be nearly universal in the Milky Way and its satellites, and …

PF Hopkins, MY Grudic, KY Su, S Wellons… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023‏ - arxiv.org
It has recently become possible to zoom-in from cosmological to sub-pc scales in galaxy
simulations to follow accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). However, at some …

Evidence of high-mass star formation through multiscale mass accretion in hub-filament-system clouds

We present a statistical study of a sample of 17 hub-filament-system (HFS) clouds of high-
mass star formation using high-angular resolution (∼ 1–2 arcsec) ALMA 1.3 and 3 mm …

Stellar populations in STARFORGE: the origin and evolution of star clusters and associations

JP Farias, SSR Offner, MY Grudić… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024‏ - academic.oup.com
Most stars form in highly clustered environments within molecular clouds, but eventually
disperse into the distributed stellar field population. Exactly how the stellar distribution …

Planet formation via pebble accretion in externally photoevaporating discs

L Qiao, GAL Coleman, TJ Haworth - Monthly Notices of the …, 2023‏ - academic.oup.com
We demonstrate that planet formation via pebble accretion is sensitive to external
photoevaporation of the outer disc. In pebble accretion, planets grow by accreting from a flux …

FORGE'd in FIRE II: The Formation of Magnetically-Dominated Quasar Accretion Disks from Cosmological Initial Conditions
