Formation of star-forming clouds from the magnetised, diffuse interstellar medium | | Robi Banerjee

11 Sep 2015 | | Abstract: | Molecular clouds, the birthplaces of stars in galaxies, form dynamically from
the diffuse atomic gas of the interstellar medium (ISM). The ISM is also
threaded by magnetic fields which have a large impact on its dynamics. In
particular, star forming regions must be magnetically supercrit- ical in order
to accomodate gas clumps which can collapse under their own weight. Based on a
parameter study of three dimensional magneto-hydrodyamical (MHD) simulations,
we show that the long-standing problem of how such supercritical regions are
generated is still an open issue. | | Source: | arXiv, 1509.3436 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
