Fragmentation in massive star formation.
Studies of evolved massive stars indicate that they form in a clustered mode. During the earliest evolutionary stages, these regions are embedded within their natal cores. Here we present high-spatial-resolution interferometric dust continuum observations disentangling the cluster-like structure of a young massive star-forming region. The derived protocluster mass distribution is consistent wit...
متن کاملPlanetesimal accretion in binary star systems
Numerical simulations of planetesimal accretion in circumprimary and circumbinary orbits are described. The secular perturbations by the companion star and gas drag are included in our models. We derive limits on the parameters of the binary system for which accretion and then planetary formation are possible. In the circumbinary case we also outline the radial distance from the baricenter of t...
متن کاملStar Formation from Turbulent Fragmentation
Star formation is intimately linked to the dynamical evolution of molecular clouds. Turbulent fragmentation determines where and when protostellar cores form, and how they contract and grow in mass via accretion from the surrounding cloud material. Efficiency, spatial distribution and timescale of star formation in turbulent clouds are estimated by comparing numerical models of self-gravitating...
متن کاملCritical Accretion Rate for Triggered Star Formation
We have reexamined the similarity solution for a self-gravitating isothermal gas sphere and examined implication to star formation in a turbulent cloud. When parameters are adequately chosen, the similarity solution expresses an accreting isothermal gas sphere bounded by a spherical shock wave. The mass and radius of the sphere increases in proportion to the time, while the central density decr...
متن کاملFragmentation and Star Formation in Turbulent Cores
We examine the conditions under which binary and multiple stars may form out of turbulent molecular cloud cores using high resolution 3-D, adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) hydrodynamics (Truelove et al., 1997, 1998; Klein, 1999). We argue that previous conclusions on the conditions for cloud fragmentation have limited applicability, since they did not allow for the nonlinear density and velocity ...
