Understanding the formation of stars in galaxies is central to much of modern astrophysics.
However, a quantitative prediction of the star formation rate and the initial distribution of …

▪ Abstract Although we have a general understanding of the manner in which individual stars
form, our understanding of how binary stars form is far from complete. This is in large part …

We present results from the first population synthesis study of protostellar discs. We analyse
the evolution and properties of a large sample of protostellar discs formed in a radiation …

ABSTRACT We present STARFORGE (STAR FORmation in Gaseous Environments): a new
numerical framework for 3D radiation magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of star …

We discuss the cosmological simulation code gadget-2, a new massively parallel TreeSPH
code, capable of following a collisionless fluid with the N-body method, and an ideal gas by …

A method for following fragmentation simulations further in time using smoothed particle
hydrodynamics (SPH) is presented. In a normal SPH simulation of the collapse and …

The cosmic dark ages ended a few hundred million years after the big bang, when the first
stars began to fill the universe with new light. It has generally been argued that these stars …

We present results from the largest numerical simulation of star formation to resolve the
fragmentation process down to the opacity limit. The simulation follows the collapse and …

Star formation is such a complex process that accurate numerical tools are needed to
quantitatively examine the mass distribution and accretion of fragments in collapsing …

We model the coagulation and fragmentation of dust grains during the protostellar collapse
with our newly developed shark code. It solves the gas-dust hydrodynamics in a spherical …
