Global hierarchical collapse in molecular clouds. Towards a comprehensive scenario

E Vázquez-Semadeni, A Palau… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019‏ - academic.oup.com
We present a unified description of the scenario of global hierarchical collapse (GHC). GHC

A model for the formation of stellar associations and clusters from giant molecular clouds

MY Grudić, JM Diederik Kruijssen… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021‏ - academic.oup.com
We present a large suite of magnetohydrodynamic simulations of turbulent, star-forming
giant molecular clouds (GMCs) with stellar feedback, extending previous work by simulating …

Cluster assembly and the origin of mass segregation in the STARFORGE simulations

D Guszejnov, C Markey, SSR Offner… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022‏ - academic.oup.com
Stars form in dense, clustered environments, where feedback from newly formed stars
eventually ejects the gas, terminating star formation and leaving behind one or more star …

Radiative stellar feedback in galaxy formation: Methods and physics

PF Hopkins, MY Grudić, A Wetzel… - Monthly Notices of …, 2020‏ - academic.oup.com
Radiative feedback (RFB) from stars plays a key role in galaxies, but remains poorly
understood. We explore this using high-resolution, multifrequency radiation-hydrodynamics …
