Star clusters across cosmic time

MR Krumholz, CF McKee… - Annual Review of …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Star clusters stand at the intersection of much of modern astrophysics: the ISM, gravitational
dynamics, stellar evolution, and cosmology. Here, we review observations and theoretical …

Star formation in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies

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 …

FIRE-3: updated stellar evolution models, yields, and microphysics and fitting functions for applications in galaxy simulations

PF Hopkins, A Wetzel, C Wheeler… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Increasingly, uncertainties in predictions from galaxy formation simulations (at sub-Milky
Way masses) are dominated by uncertainties in stellar evolution inputs. In this paper, we …

Galaxies on FIRE (Feedback In Realistic Environments): stellar feedback explains cosmologically inefficient star formation

PF Hopkins, D Kereš, J Oñorbe… - Monthly Notices of …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
We present a series of high-resolution cosmological simulations1 of galaxy formation to z=
0, spanning halo masses∼ 108–1013 M⊙, and stellar masses∼ 104–1011 M⊙. Our …

The structure of multiphase galactic winds

DB Fielding, GL Bryan - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a novel analytic framework to model the steady-state structure of multiphase
galactic winds comprised of a hot, volume-filling component and a cold, clumpy component …

Molecular clouds in the Milky Way

M Heyer, TM Dame - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
In the past twenty years, the reconnaissance of 12CO and 13CO emission in the Milky Way
by single-dish millimeter-wave telescopes has expanded our view and understanding of …

The life and times of giant molecular clouds

M Chevance, MR Krumholz, AF McLeod… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
