    • The dynamical evolution of molecular clouds near the Galactic Centre -- III. Tidally--induced star formation in protocluster clouds 

      Dale, James E.; Kruijssen, J. M. Diederik; Longmore, S. N. (2019-04-02)
      As part of a series of papers aimed at understanding the evolution of the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), we present hydrodynamical simulations of turbulent molecular clouds orbiting in an accurate model of the ...

    • Physical Processes in Star Formation 

      Girichidis, Philipp; Offner, Stella S. R.; Kritsuk, Alexei G.; Klessen, Ralf S.; Hennebelle, Patrick; Kruijssen, J. M. Diederik; Krause, Martin G. H.; Glover, Simon C. O.; Padovani, Marco (2020-06-02)
      Star formation is a complex multi-scale phenomenon that is of significant importance for astrophysics in general. Stars and star formation are key pillars in observational astronomy from local star forming regions in the ...

    • The Physics of Star Cluster Formation and Evolution 

      Krause, Martin G. H.; Offner, Stella S. R.; Charbonnel, Corinne; Gieles, Mark; Klessen, Ralf S.; Vazquez-Semadeni, Enrique; Ballesteros-Paredes, Javier; Girichidis, Philipp; Kruijssen, J. M. Diederik; Ward, Jacob L.; Zinnecker, Hans (2020-06-02)
      Star clusters form in dense, hierarchically collapsing gas clouds. Bulk kinetic energy is transformed to turbulence with stars forming from cores fed by filaments. In the most compact regions, stellar feedback is least ...

    • Star clusters near and far; tracing star formation across cosmic time 

      Adamo, Angela; Zeidler, Peter; Kruijssen, J. M. Diederik; Chevance, Mélanie; Gieles, Mark; Calzetti, Daniela; Charbonnel, Corinne; Zinnecker, Hans; Krause, Martin G. H. (2020-06-08)
      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, i.e.\ detailed insight into their stellar populations ...
