Thermal Feedback in the High-mass Star-and Cluster-forming Region W51

A Ginsburg, C Goddi, JMD Kruijssen… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
High-mass stars have generally been assumed to accrete most of their mass while already
contracted onto the main sequence, but this hypothesis has not been observationally tested …

Seeding the Galactic Centre gas stream: gravitational instabilities set the initial conditions for the formation of protocluster clouds

JD Henshaw, SN Longmore… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Star formation within the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) may be intimately linked to the
orbital dynamics of the gas. Recent models suggest that star formation within the dust ridge …

Modeling of the effects of stellar feedback during star cluster formation using a hybrid gas and n-body method

JE Wall, MM Mac Low, SLW McMillan… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
