THE DYNAMICS OF RADIATION-PRESSURE-DOMINATED H II REGIONS

Open access
Krumholz, Mark R., Matzner, Christopher D.·2009·The Astrophysical Journal

Abstract

We evaluate the role of radiation pressure in the dynamics of H ii regions. We first determine under what conditions radiation pressure is significant in comparison to gas pressure and show that, while radiation pressure is generally unimportant for H ii regions driven by a handful of massive stars, it is dominant for the larger H ii regions produced by the massive star clusters found near the Galactic center and in starburst environments. We then provide a solution for the problem of how H ii regions expand when radiation pressure influences their behavior. Finally, we compare radiation-dominated H ii regions to other sources of stellar feedback, and argue that H ii regions are probably the primary mechanism for regulating the formation of massive star clusters.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
