Title: Formation of stellar clusters in magnetized, filamentary infrared dark clouds

Abstract

Star formation in a filamentary infrared dark cloud (IRDC) is simulated over the dynamic range of 4.2 pc to 28 au for a period of 3.5 × 105 yr, including magnetic fields and both radiative and outflow feedback from the protostars. At the end of the simulation, the star formation efficiency is 4.3 per cent and the star formation rate per free-fall time is εff ≃ 0.04, within the range of observed values. The total stellar mass increases as ~t2, whereas the number of protostars increases as ~t1.5. We postulate that the density profile around most of the simulated protostars is ~ρ ∝ r-1.5. At the end of the simulation, the protostellar mass function approaches the Chabrier stellar initial mass function. We infer that the time to form a star of median mass 0.2 M is about 1.4 × 105 yr from the median mass accretion rate. We find good consensus among the protostellar luminosities observed in the large sample of Dunham et al., our simulation and a theoretical estimate, and we conclude that the classical protostellar luminosity problem is resolved. The multiplicity of the stellar systems in the simulation agrees, to within a factor of 2, with observations ofmore » Class I young stellar objects; most of the simulated multiple systems are unbound. Bipolar protostellar outflows are launched using a subgrid model, and extend up to 1 pc from their host star. The mass–velocity relation of the simulated outflows is consistent with both observation and theory.« less

The rectangular boxes mark the zoom-in region in the simulation, in which the AMR is allowed to refine up to a maximum of six levels. Protostars are allowed to form onlymore » inside the zoom-in region at the finest level. The total volume of the zoom-in region is 4.2 pc3. The white circles mark the 100 most massive clumps identified at this time; see Li et al. (2015b) for a discussion of the 100 most massive clumps.« less
