Control of star formation by supersonic turbulence

MM Mac Low, RS Klessen - Reviews of modern physics, 2004 - APS
Understanding the formation of stars in galaxies is central to much of modern astrophysics.
However, a quantitative prediction of the star formation rate and the initial distribution of …

Neutral atomic phases of the interstellar medium in the galaxy

MG Wolfire, CF McKee, D Hollenbach… - The Astrophysical …, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
Much of the interstellar medium in disk galaxies is in the form of neutral atomic hydrogen, H
I. This gas can be in thermal equilibrium at relatively low temperatures, T≲ 300 K (the cold …

Comparing the statistics of interstellar turbulence in simulations and observations-Solenoidal versus compressive turbulence forcing

C Federrath, J Roman-Duval, RS Klessen… - Astronomy & …, 2010 - aanda.org
Context. Density and velocity fluctuations on virtually all scales observed with modern

Atomic hydrogen in the milky way: a stepping stone in the evolution of galaxies

NM McClure-Griffiths, S Stanimirović… - Annual Review of …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Atomic hydrogen (Hi) is a critical stepping stone in the gas evolution cycle of the interstellar
medium (ISM) of the Milky Way. Hi traces both the cold, premolecular state before star …

Toward understanding the cosmic-ray acceleration at young supernova remnants interacting with interstellar clouds: possible applications to RX J1713. 7− 3946

T Inoue, R Yamazaki, S Inutsuka… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org

properties of a blast wave shock interacting with interstellar clouds. The pre-shock cloudy …

Turbulent structure of a stratified supernova-driven interstellar medium

MKR Joung, MM Mac Low - The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
To study how supernova feedback structures the turbulent interstellar medium, we construct
3D models of vertically stratified gas stirred by discrete supernova explosions, including …

Simulating the formation of molecular clouds. II. Rapid formation from turbulent initial conditions

SCO Glover, MM Mac Low - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we present results from a large set of numerical simulations that demonstrate
that H 2 formation occurs rapidly in turbulent gas. Starting with purely atomic hydrogen, large …
