Cluster Formation in Protostellar Outflow-Driven Turbulence
Most, perhaps all, stars go through a phase of vigorous outflow during formation. We examine, through 3D MHD simulation, the effects of protostellar outflows on cluster formation. We find that the initial turbulence in the clusterforming region is quickly replaced by motions generated by outflows. The protostellar outflow-driven turbulence (“protostellar turbulence” for short) can keep the regi...
متن کاملProtostellar Jets and Turbulence in Molecular Clouds: The Role of Interactions
We present a series of numerical studies of the interaction of colliding radiative, hydrodynamic young stellar outflows. We study the effect of the collision impact parameter on the acceleration of ambient material and the degree to which the flow is isotropized by the collision as a mechanism for driving turbulence in the parent molecular cloud. Our results indicate that the high degrees of co...
متن کاملProtostellar clusters in intermediate mass ( IM ) star forming regions
Context. The transition between the low density groups of T Tauri stars and the high density clusters around massive stars occurs in the intermediate-mass (IM) range (M * ∼2–8 M ⊙). High spatial resolution studies of IM young stellar objects (YSO) can provide important clues to understand the clustering in massive star forming regions. Aims. Our aim is to search for clustering in IM Class 0 pro...
متن کاملOrbital decay of protostellar binaries in molecular clouds
The evolution of a protostellar binary system is investigated while it is embedded in its parent molecular cloud core, and is acted upon by gas drag due to dynamical friction. Approximate analytical results are obtained for the energy and angular momentum evolution of the orbit in the limiting cases, where the velocity is much smaller than, and much larger than the velocity dispersion of the ga...
متن کاملSimulating Supersonic Turbulence in Magnetized Molecular Clouds
We present results of large-scale three-dimensional simulations of weakly magnetized supersonic turbulence at grid resolutions up to 1024 cells. Our numerical experiments are carried out with the Piecewise Parabolic Method on a Local Stencil and assume an isothermal equation of state. The turbulence is driven by a large-scale isotropic solenoidal force in a periodic computational domain and ful...
