The Life and Times of Star-forming Cores: An Analysis of Dense Gas in the STARFORGE Simulations

Dense gas in molecular clouds is an important signature of ongoing and future star formation. We identify and track dense cores in the starforge simulations, following the core evolution from birth through dispersal by stellar feedback for typical Milky Way cloud conditions. Only ∼8% of cores host p...
