Radiation hydrodynamics simulations of massive star cluster formation
Speaker: Hajime Fukushima
Abstract:
Globular clusters (GCs) are believed to form in early galaxies, but the formation mechanism of GCs are still debated. In the star cluster formation, radiative feedback hampers star formation and increase of stellar density. Hence, the stellar feedback is a key factor in determination of star cluster properties. In this talk, I will review the star cluster formation and star formation quenching mechanisms, and introduce our recent simulations of massive star cluster formation and metal enrichment in the GC formation.
