Filamentary Hierarchies and Superbubbles: Galactic Multiscale Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Giant Molecular Cloud to Star Cluster Formation

Abstract

There is now abundant observational evidence that star formation is a highly dynamical process that connects filament hierarchies and supernova feedback from galaxy-scale kiloparsec filaments and superbubbles to giant molecular clouds (GMCs) on 100 pc scales and star clusters (1 pc). Here we present galactic multiscale MHD simulations that track the formation of structure from galactic down to subparsec scales in a magnetized, Milky Way–like …
