The big problems in star formation: the star formation rate, stellar clustering, and the initial mass function

MR Krumholz - Physics Reports, 2014 - Elsevier
Star formation lies at the center of a web of processes that drive cosmic evolution:
generation of radiant energy, synthesis of elements, formation of planets, and development …

The physics of star cluster formation and evolution

MGH Krause, SSR Offner, C Charbonnel… - Space Science …, 2020 - Springer
Star clusters form in dense, hierarchically collapsing gas clouds. Bulk kinetic energy is
transformed to turbulence with stars forming from cores fed by filaments. In the most compact …

Has JWST already falsified dark-matter-driven galaxy formation?

M Haslbauer, P Kroupa, AH Zonoozi… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovered several luminous high-

The dynamics and outcome of star formation with jets, radiation, winds, and supernovae in concert

MY Grudić, D Guszejnov, SSR Offner… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We analyse the first giant molecular cloud (GMC) simulation to follow the formation of
individual stars and their feedback from jets, radiation, winds, and supernovae, using the …

Evolutionary roads leading to low effective spins, high black hole masses, and O1/O2 rates for LIGO/Virgo binary black holes

K Belczynski, J Klencki, CE Fields, A Olejak… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
All ten LIGO/Virgo binary black hole (BH-BH) coalescences reported following the O1/O2
runs have near-zero effective spins. There are only three potential explanations for this. If the …

Measuring the binary black hole mass spectrum with an astrophysically motivated parameterization

C Talbot, E Thrane - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Gravitational-wave detections have revealed a previously unknown population of stellar
mass black holes with masses above 20 M⊙. These observations provide a new way to test …

M Cappellari, RM McDermid, K Alatalo… - Monthly Notices of …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
In the companion Paper XV of this series, we derive accurate total mass-to-light ratios within
a sphere of radius centred on the galaxy, as well as stellar (M/L) stars (with the dark matter …

Very high redshift quasars and the rapid emergence of supermassive black holes

P Kroupa, L Subr, T Jerabkova… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The observation of quasars at very high redshift such as Pōniuā'ena is a challenge for
models of supermassive black hole (SMBH) formation. This work presents a study of SMBH …

A highly consistent framework for the evolution of the star-forming “main sequence” from z∼ 0–6

JS Speagle, CL Steinhardt, PL Capak… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Using a compilation of 25 studies from the literature, we investigate the evolution of the star-
forming galaxy (SFG) main sequence (MS) in stellar mass and star formation rate (SFR) out …
