Review of Computational Star Formation

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Book cover The Labyrinth of Star Formation

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings ((ASSSP,volume 36))

Abstract

We will review the current state of computational star formation discussing past limitations of both grid and particle methods and their consequences on interpreting star formation models. We will also discuss recent algorithmic advances and the possibilities for future numerical investigations.
