Gravitational Potential Energy Sinks in the Oceans
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is lost during convective adjustment. Using monthly mean climatological datasets, the annual mean GPE loss due to convective adjustment in the world oceans is estimated at 0.24 TW. Conversion from the mean-state GPE to eddies GPE and kinetic energy (KE) is also estimated, using the commonly accepted Gent-McWilliams scheme. Our estimate is that about 1.1TW is...
متن کاملStar Formation in the LMC: Gravitational Instability and Dynamical Triggering
Evidence for triggered star formation is difficult to establish because energy feedback from massive stars tend to erase the interstellar conditions that led to the star formation. Young stellar objects (YSOs) mark sites of current star formation whose ambient conditions have not been significantly altered. Spitzer observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) effectively reveal massive YSOs...
متن کاملGravitational instability and star formation in disc galaxies
We present a general star formation law in which the star formation rate depends upon the ef®ciency a and the time-scale t of star formation, and the gas component jg of the surface mass density. The current nominal Schmidt exponent nS for our model is 2 < nS < 3. Based on a gravitational instability parameter QA and another dimensionless parameter fP P=Gj 2 c , where P pressure and jc ...
متن کاملControl of Star Formation in Galaxies by Gravitational Instability
We present high resolution simulations of star formation in a wide range of disk galaxies, using a three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics code with an isothermal equation of state and no explicit feedback. Absorbing sink particles are inserted in high density regions to directly measure the mass of gravitationally collapsing gas. Despite the simplicity of our assumptions, our models ...
متن کاملStar formation through gravitational collapse and competitive accretion
Competitive accretion, a process to explain the origin of the IMF, occurs when stars in a common gravitational potential accrete from a distributed gaseous component. Stars located near the centre of the potential benefit from the gravitational attraction of the full potential and accrete at much higher rates than do isolated stars. We show that concerns recently raised on the efficiency of com...
