Star Clusters Near and Far: Tracing Star Formation Across Cosmic Time

A Adamo, P Zeidler, JMD Kruijssen, M Chevance… - Space Science …, 2020 - Springer
Star clusters are fundamental units of stellar feedback and unique tracers of their host
galactic properties. In this review, we will first focus on their constituents, ie detailed insight …

The role of magnetic fields in setting the star formation rate and the initial mass function

MR Krumholz, C Federrath - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Star-forming gas clouds are strongly magnetized, and their ionization fractions are high
enough to place them close to the regime of ideal magnetohydrodyamics on all but the …

Observational evidence of dynamic star formation rate in milky way giant molecular clouds

EJ Lee, MA Miville-Deschênes… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Star formation on galactic scales is known to be a slow process, but whether it is slow on
smaller scales is uncertain. We cross-correlate 5469 giant molecular clouds (GMCs) from a …

STARFORGE: the effects of protostellar outflows on the IMF

D Guszejnov, MY Grudić, PF Hopkins… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The initial mass function (IMF) of stars is a key quantity affecting almost every field of
astrophysics, yet it remains unclear what physical mechanisms determine it. We present the …

Bonnsai: a Bayesian tool for comparing stars with stellar evolution models

FRN Schneider, N Langer, A de Koter, I Brott… - Astronomy & …, 2014 - aanda.org
Powerful telescopes equipped with multi-fibre or integral field spectrographs combined with
detailed models of stellar atmospheres and automated fitting techniques allow for the …

Variation of the high-mass slope of the stellar initial mass function: Theory meets observations

S Dib - The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present observational evidence of a correlation between the high-mass slope of the
stellar initial mass function (IMF) in young star clusters and their stellar surface density, σ …

The influence of the environment on the spin evolution of low-mass stars–I. External photoevaporation of circumstellar discs

J Roquette, SP Matt, AJ Winter, L Amard… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Massive stars are strong sources of far-ultraviolet radiation that can be hostile to the
evolution of protoplanetary discs, driving mass-loss by external photoevaporation and …

The stellar IMF from isothermal MHD turbulence

T Haugbølle, P Padoan, Å Nordlund - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We address the turbulent fragmentation scenario for the origin of the stellar initial mass
function (IMF), using a large set of numerical simulations of randomly driven supersonic …

The evolution and properties of rotating massive star populations

J Choi, C Conroy, N Byler - The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the integrated properties of massive (> M 10) rotating single-star stellar
populations for a variety of initial rotation rates (= vv 0.0 crit, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6). We …
