THE STAR FORMATION RATE OF SUPERSONIC MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC TURBULENCE
THE STAR FORMATION RATE OF SUPERSONIC MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC TURBULENCE
This work presents a new physical model of the star formation rate (SFR), which is verified with an unprecedented set of large numerical simulations of driven, supersonic, self-gravitating, magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, where collapsing cores are captured with accreting sink particles. The model depends on the relative importance of gravitational, turbulent, …
