Ionizing feedback from massive stars in massive clusters - II. Disruption of bound clusters by photoionization
(2012-07-21)
We present a smoothed particle hydrodynamics parameter study of the dynamical effect of photoionization from O-type stars on star-forming clouds of a range of masses and sizes during the time window before supernovae ...
Ionization-induced star formation - III. Effects of external triggering on the initial mass function in clusters
(2012-05-01)
We report on smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of the impact on a turbulent ∼2 × 103 M star-forming molecular cloud of irradiation by an external source of ionizing photons. We find that the ionizing radiation ...
The Carina Flare. What can fragments in the wall tell us?
(2012-03-02)
13CO(J = 2–1) and C18O(J = 2–1) observations of the molecular cloud G285.90+4.53 (Cloud 16) in the Carina Flare supershell (GSH287+04-17) with the APEX telescope are presented. With an algorithm DENDROFIND we identify 51 ...
Synthetic observations of simulated Pillars of Creation
(2012-02-11)
We present synthetic observations of star-forming interstellar medium structures obtained by hydrodynamic calculations of a turbulent box under the influence of an ionizing radiation field. The morphological appearance of ...
