We know that a cluster can be a dangerous place for a young star trying to form some new planets. Radiation and winds from massive stars can evaporate the planetary disc, and the gravitational pull from fly-bys of other stars can disrupt the disc and drag the planet-forming material away.
An alternate model of cosmology behaves like modified gravity.
Did local Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies get quenched by the Milky Way or by Reionisation? Today’s authors use cosmological simulations to find out!
The fractal dimension as a new way to explore the mysterious link between turbulence and star formation.
Today’s undergraduate research post features a student who uses computer simulations to the evolution of dwarf galaxies.
Today’s paper uses FIRE-2 galaxy merger simulations to study star formation during the galaxy-pair stage of interactions.
