Abstract: |
We simulate the effects of massive star feedback, via winds and
SNe, on inhomogeneous molecular material left over from the formation
of a massive stellar cluster. We use 3D hydrodynamic models
with a temperature dependent average particle mass to model the
separate molecular, atomic, and ionized phases. We find that the
winds blow out of the molecular clump along low-density channels, and
gradually ablate denser material into these. However, the dense molecular gas
is surprisingly long-lived and is not immediately affected by the
first star in the cluster exploding. |
