Ionization Feedback in Massive Star Formation
Simulating the Formation of Massive Stars and Ultracompact H II Regions with Adaptive-Mesh Radiation Hydrodynamics
Autoren
Mehr zum Buch
The book explores the formation of high-mass stars through innovative radiation-hydrodynamic simulations, detailing the gravitational collapse of massive molecular clouds and the development of surrounding accretion disks. It reveals how intense UV radiation interacts with infalling material, demonstrating that ionization feedback does not hinder protostellar mass growth or fragmentation. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive understanding of H II regions, addressing their morphology, time variability, and age, effectively resolving the long-standing lifetime problem in astrophysics.
