The external photoevaporation of planet-forming discs

AJ Winter, TJ Haworth - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2022 - Springer
Planet-forming disc evolution is not independent of the star formation and feedback process
in giant molecular clouds. In particular, OB stars emit UV radiation that heats and disperses …

The life and times of giant molecular clouds

M Chevance, MR Krumholz, AF McLeod… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) are the sites of star formation and stellar feedback in
galaxies. Their properties set the initial conditions for star formation and their lifecycles …

A JWST/NIRSpec Exploration of the Connection between Ionization Parameter, Electron Density, and Star-formation-rate Surface Density in z= 2.7–6.3 Galaxies

NA Reddy, MW Topping, RL Sanders… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the factors responsible for the variation in the ionization parameter (U) of high-
redshift star-forming galaxies based on medium-resolution JWST/NIRSpec observations …

The impact of pre-supernova feedback and its dependence on environment

AF McLeod, AA Ali, M Chevance… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Integral field units enable resolved studies of a large number of star-forming regions across
entire nearby galaxies, providing insight on the conversion of gas into stars and the …

Radiation hydrodynamics simulations of massive star cluster formation in giant molecular clouds

H Fukushima, H Yajima - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
By performing 3D radiation hydrodynamics simulations, we study the formation of young
massive star clusters (YMCs; M*> 104 M⊙) in clouds with the surface density ranging from …

fried v2: a new grid of mass-loss rates for externally irradiated protoplanetary discs

TJ Haworth, GAL Coleman, L Qiao… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We present a new fried grid of mass-loss rates for externally far-ultraviolet (FUV) irradiated
protoplanetary discs. As a precursor to the new grid, we also explore the microphysics of …

The formation of clusters and OB associations in different density spiral arm environments

CL Dobbs, TJR Bending, AR Pettitt… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We present simulations of the formation and evolution of clusters in spiral arms. The
simulations follow two different spiral arm regions, and the total gas mass is varied to …

The evolution of protoplanetary discs in star formation and feedback simulations

L Qiao, TJ Haworth, AD Sellek… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We couple star cluster formation and feedback simulations of a Carina-like star-forming
region with 1D disc evolutionary models to study the impact of external photoevaporation on …

The evolution of circumstellar discs in the galactic centre: an application to the G-clouds

JE Owen, DNC Lin - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT The Galactic Centre is known to have undergone a recent star formation
episode a few Myr ago, which likely produced many T Tauri stars hosting circumstellar discs …

The formation of massive stellar clusters in converging galactic flows with photoionization

CL Dobbs, TJR Bending, AR Pettitt… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We have performed simulations of cluster formation along two regions of a spiral arm taken
from a global Milky Way simulation, including photoionizing feedback. One region is …
