Accretion Disk Winds from Active Galactic Nuclei
- N. Murray, J. Chiang, S. Grossman, G. Voit
- Physics
- 1 October 1995
Star Formation Efficiencies and Lifetimes of Giant Molecular Clouds in the Milky Way
- N. Murray
- Physics
- 19 July 2010
We use a sample of the 13 most luminous WMAP Galactic free-free sources, responsible for 33% of the free-free emission of the Milky Way, to investigate star formation. The sample contains 40…
ON THE MAXIMUM LUMINOSITY OF GALAXIES AND THEIR CENTRAL BLACK HOLES: FEEDBACK FROM MOMENTUM-DRIVEN WINDS
- N. Murray, E. Quataert, T. Thompson
- Physics
- 2 June 2004
We investigate large-scale galactic winds driven by momentum deposition. Momentum injection is provided by (1) radiation pressure produced by the continuum absorption and scattering of photons on…
Atmospheric Escape From Hot Jupiters
- R. Murray-Clay, E. Chiang, N. Murray
- Physics, Geology
- 3 November 2008
Photoionization heating from ultraviolet (UV) radiation incidents on the atmospheres of hot Jupiters may drive planetary mass loss. Observations of stellar Lyman-α (Lyα) absorption have suggested…
Radiation Pressure-supported Starburst Disks and Active Galactic Nucleus Fueling
- T. Thompson, E. Quataert, N. Murray
- Physics
- 1 March 2005
We consider the structure of marginally Toomre-stable starburst disks under the assumption that radiation pressure on dust grains provides the dominant vertical support against gravity. This…
Gusty, gaseous flows of FIRE: Galactic winds in cosmological simulations with explicit stellar feedback
- A. Muratov, D. Keres̆, C. Faucher-Giguère, P. Hopkins, E. Quataert, N. Murray
- Physics
- 13 January 2015
We present an analysis of the galaxy-scale gaseous outflows from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) simulations. This suite of hydrodynamic cosmological zoom simulations resolves formation…
Galaxies on FIRE (Feedback In Realistic Environments): stellar feedback explains cosmologically inefficient star formation
- P. Hopkins, D. Keres̆, J. Bullock
- Physics
- 8 November 2013
We present a series of high-resolution cosmological simulations of galaxy formation to z = 0, spanning halo masses ∼10^8–10^(13) M⊙, and stellar masses ∼10^4–10^(11) M⊙. Our simulations include fully…
STAR FORMATION IN MASSIVE CLUSTERS VIA THE WILKINSON MICROWAVE ANISOTROPY PROBE AND THE SPITZER GLIMPSE SURVEY
We use the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) maximum entropy method foreground emission map combined with previously determined distances to giant H II regions to measure the free-free flux…
Magnetic Fields in Starburst Galaxies and the Origin of the FIR-Radio Correlation
- T. Thompson, E. Quataert, E. Waxman, N. Murray, Crystal L. Martin
- Physics
- 26 January 2006
We estimate minimum energy magnetic fields (Bmin) for a sample of galaxies with measured gas surface densities, spanning more than four orders of magnitude in surface density, from normal spirals to…
Variations in the Galactic star formation rate and density thresholds for star formation
- S. Longmore, J. Bally, D. Kruijssen
- Physics
- 21 August 2012
The conversion of gas into stars is a fundamental process in astrophysics and cosmology. Stars are known to form from the gravitational collapse of dense clumps in interstellar molecular clouds, and…
