From diffuse gas to dense molecular cloud cores

J Ballesteros-Paredes, P André, P Hennebelle… - Space Science …, 2020 - Springer
Molecular clouds are a fundamental ingredient of galaxies: they are the channels that
transform the diffuse gas into stars. The detailed process of how they do it is not completely …

Partially ionized plasmas in astrophysics

JL Ballester, I Alexeev, M Collados, T Downes… - Space Science …, 2018 - Springer
Partially ionized plasmas are found across the Universe in many different astrophysical
environments. They constitute an essential ingredient of the solar atmosphere, molecular …

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
constitutes a flow regime of (non-homologous) collapses within collapses, in which all …

The star formation rate of turbulent magnetized clouds: comparing theory, simulations, and observations

C Federrath, RS Klessen - The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The role of turbulence and magnetic fields is studied for star formation in molecular clouds.
We derive and compare six theoretical models for the star formation rate (SFR)—the …

On the star formation efficiency of turbulent magnetized clouds

C Federrath, RS Klessen - The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the star formation efficiency (SFE) in simulations and observations of turbulent,
magnetized, molecular clouds. We find that the probability density functions (PDFs) of the …

Cluster-formation in the Rosette molecular cloud at the junctions of filaments

N Schneider, T Csengeri, M Hennemann… - Astronomy & …, 2012 - aanda.org
Aims. For many years feedback processes generated by OB-stars in molecular clouds,
including expanding ionization fronts, stellar winds, or UV-radiation, have been proposed to …

The structure of the interstellar medium of star‐forming galaxies

PF Hopkins, E Quataert, N Murray - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
We develop and implement numerical methods for including stellar feedback in galaxy‐
scale numerical simulations. Our models include simplified treatments of heating by Type I …

The ALMA Survey of 70 μm Dark High-mass Clumps in Early Stages (ASHES). VIII. Dynamics of Embedded Dense Cores

S Li, P Sanhueza, Q Zhang, G Guido… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present dynamical properties of 294 cores embedded in twelve IRDCs observed as part
of the ASHES Survey. Protostellar cores have higher gas masses, surface densities, column …

Physical processes in the interstellar medium

NY Gnedin, SCO Glover, RS Klessen… - Star Formation in Galaxy …, 2016 - Springer
Understanding the physical processes that govern the dynamical behavior of the interstellar
medium (ISM) is central to much of modern astronomy and astrophysics. The ISM is the …
