Star clusters near and far: tracing star formation across cosmic time

A Adamo, P Zeidler, JMD Kruijssen, M Chevance… - Space Science …, 2020‏ - Springer
Star clusters are fundamental units of stellar feedback and unique tracers of their host
galactic properties. In this review, we will first focus on their constituents, ie detailed insight …

Star formation near the Sun is driven by expansion of the Local Bubble

C Zucker, AA Goodman, J Alves, S Bialy, M Foley… - Nature, 2022‏ - nature.com
For decades we have known that the Sun lies within the Local Bubble, a cavity of low-
density, high-temperature plasma surrounded by a shell of cold, neutral gas and dust …

The structure of multiphase galactic winds

DB Fielding, GL Bryan - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We present a novel analytic framework to model the steady-state structure of multiphase
galactic winds comprised of a hot, volume-filling component and a cold, clumpy component …

Pressure-regulated, feedback-modulated star formation in disk galaxies

EC Ostriker, CG Kim - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022‏ - iopscience.iop.org
The star formation rate (SFR) in galactic disks depends on both the quantity of the available
interstellar medium (ISM) gas and its physical state. Conversely, the ISM's physical state …

Introducing the NEWHORIZON simulation: Galaxy properties with resolved internal dynamics across cosmic time

Y Dubois, R Beckmann, F Bournaud, H Choi… - Astronomy & …, 2021‏ - aanda.org
Hydrodynamical cosmological simulations are increasing their level of realism by
considering more physical processes and having greater resolution or larger statistics …

A unified model for galactic discs: star formation, turbulence driving, and mass transport

MR Krumholz, B Burkhart, JC Forbes… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2018‏ - academic.oup.com
We introduce a new model for the structure and evolution of the gas in galactic discs. In the
model the gas is in vertical pressure and energy balance. Star formation feedback injects …

Modeling UV radiation feedback from massive stars. II. Dispersal of star-forming giant molecular clouds by photoionization and radiation pressure

JG Kim, WT Kim, EC Ostriker - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018‏ - iopscience.iop.org
UV radiation feedback from young massive stars plays a key role in the evolution of giant
molecular clouds (GMCs) by photoevaporating and ejecting the surrounding gas. We …

Multiphase gas and the fractal nature of radiative turbulent mixing layers

DB Fielding, EC Ostriker, GL Bryan… - The Astrophysical …, 2020‏ - iopscience.iop.org
A common situation in galactic and intergalactic gas involves cold dense gas in motion
relative to hot diffuse gas. Kelvin–Helmholtz instability creates a turbulent mixing layer and …

Efficiently Cooled Stellar Wind Bubbles in Turbulent Clouds. I. Fractal Theory and Application to Star-forming Clouds

L Lancaster, EC Ostriker, JG Kim… - The Astrophysical …, 2021‏ - iopscience.iop.org
Winds from massive stars have velocities of 1000 km s− 1 or more and produce hot, high-
pressure gas when they shock. We develop a theory for the evolution of bubbles driven by …
