Dust coagulation during the early stages of star formation: molecular cloud collapse and first hydrostatic core evolution

MR Bate - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Planet formation in protoplanetary discs requires dust grains to coagulate from the sub-

The structure of the local interstellar medium. IV. Dynamics, morphology, physical properties, and implications of cloud-cloud interactions

S Redfield, JL Linsky - The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an empirical dynamical model of the LISM based on 270 radial velocity
measurements for 157 sight lines toward nearby stars. Physical parameter measurements …

Dust coagulation and fragmentation in molecular clouds-I. How collisions between dust aggregates alter the dust size distribution

CW Ormel, D Paszun, C Dominik, A Tielens - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2009 - aanda.org
The cores in molecular clouds are the densest and coldest regions of the interstellar medium
(ISM). In these regions ISM-dust grains have the potential to coagulate. This study …

A unified model of grain alignment: radiative alignment of interstellar grains with magnetic inclusions

T Hoang, A Lazarian - The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The radiative torque (RAT) alignment of interstellar grains with ordinary paramagnetic
susceptibilities has been supported by earlier studies. The alignment of such grains …

Galaxy simulation with dust formation and destruction

S Aoyama, KC Hou, I Shimizu… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We perform smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of an isolated galaxy with a
