Star cluster progenitors are dynamically decoupled from their parent molecular clouds
The formation of stellar clusters dictates the pace at which galaxies evolve, and solving the
question of their formation will undoubtedly lead to a better understanding of the Universe as …

Scale-free gravitational collapse as the origin of ρ ∼ r−2 density profile – a possible role of turbulence in regulating gravitational collapse
GX Li - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Astrophysical systems, such as clumps that form star clusters share a density profile that is
close to ρ∼ r− 2. We prove analytically this density profile is the result of the scale-free …

Effective shielding of≲ 10 GeV cosmic rays from dense molecular clumps
The density of cosmic rays inside molecular clouds determines the ionization rate in the
dense cores where stars form. It is also one of the drivers of astrochemistry leading to the …
