3D Simulations of the Fragmentation of Photoevaporating Clumps Embedded in a Stellar Wind. (2005). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 41(1), 45-55. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/2005rmxaa..41...45r

Abstract

We present 3D numerical simulations of the interaction of a dense, neutral clump with an impinging external wind+ionizing photon field. We find that models with very weak ionizing photon fields produce clumps that fragment as the time evolution proceeds, in agreement with previous clump/wind interaction models. Models with stronger ionizing photon fields present less fragmentation, and for strong enough photon fields only a single, dense condensation is produced.
