Journal ArticleDOI
Control of star formation by supersonic turbulence
TL;DR: A review of the successes and problems of both the classical dynamical theory and the standard theory of magnetostatic support, from both observational and theoretical perspectives, is given in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid planetesimal formation in turbulent circumstellar disks
Anders Johansen,Jeffrey S. Oishi,Jeffrey S. Oishi,Mordecai-Mark Mac Low,Mordecai-Mark Mac Low,Hubert Klahr,Thomas Henning,Andrew N. Youdin +7 more
TL;DR: It is reported that boulders can undergo efficient gravitational collapse in locally overdense regions in the midplane of the disk, and it is found that gravitationally bound clusters form with masses comparable to dwarf planets and containing a distribution of boulder sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Starburst-driven Mass Loss from Dwarf Galaxies: Efficiency and Metal Ejection
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of repeated supernova (SN) explosions from starbursts in dwarf galaxies on the interstellar medium of these galaxies, taking into account the gravitational potential of their dominant dark matter halos, were explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing the statistics of interstellar turbulence in simulations and observations - Solenoidal versus compressive turbulence forcing
Christoph Federrath,Christoph Federrath,Christoph Federrath,Julia Roman-Duval,Julia Roman-Duval,Ralf S. Klessen,Wolfgang Schmidt,Wolfgang Schmidt,Mordecai-Mark Mac Low,Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study two limiting cases of turbulence forcing in numerical experiments: solenoidal (divergence-free) forcing and compressive (curl-free), and compare their results to observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superbubbles in disk galaxies
TL;DR: In this article, the growth of supernovae in various stratified atmospheres is numerically modeled using the Kompaneets (thin-shell) approximation, and a dimensionless quantity predicts whether a superbubble will blow out of the H I disk of a spiral galaxy (and begin to accelerate upward) or collapse.
