Triggered star formation in the Magellanic Clouds
We discuss how tidal interaction between the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), and the Galaxy triggers galaxy-wide star formation in the Clouds for the last ∼ 0.2 Gyr based on our chemodynamical simulations on the Clouds. Our simulations demonstrate that the tidal interaction induces the formation of asymmetric spiral arms with high gas densities and consequently t...
متن کاملStar Formation in the Magellanic Clouds
An overview of the understanding of processes of star formation in the Magellanic Clouds, including a historical perspective, is given. The current status is reviewed with emphasis on evidence for sequential star formation in large associations, on optical and infrared discoveries of possible pre-main sequence objects in luminous young clusters and 30 Doradus. The history of star formation in b...
متن کاملMagnetically Regulated Star Formation in Turbulent Clouds
We investigate numerically the combined effects of supersonic turbulence, strong magnetic fields and ambipolar diffusion on cloud evolution leading to star formation. We find that, in clouds that are initially magnetically subcritical, supersonic turbulence can speed up star formation, through enhanced ambipolar diffusion in shocks. The speedup overcomes a major objection to the standard scenar...
متن کاملStar formation in metal-poor gas clouds
Observations of molecular clouds in metal-poor environments typically find that they have much higher star formation rates than one would expect based on their observed CO luminosities and the molecular gas masses that are inferred from them. This finding can be understood if one assumes that the conversion factor between CO luminosity and H2 mass is much larger in these low-metallicity systems...
متن کاملClustered Massive Star Formation in Molecular Clouds
I review some important questions in the field of massive star formation: What are the initial conditions for proto star clusters and how do they arise? What are the initial conditions for individual massive star formation within star clusters? How do massive protostars accumulate their mass? I compare the Turbulent Core Model (McKee & Tan 2003) to several nearby regions, including Orion KL. He...
