Population III Binary Star

2010-06-03 1 524 Vimeo

This is a zoomin on a simulation of a Population III star that was found to fragment into two clumps. The colors represent regions of constant density. This was simulated using Enzo and volume rendered using the yt toolkit. The camera path is very simplistic: we zoom into the most dense of the two clumps. On the left side of the frame about halfway through the second clump, currently approximately 800AU from the primary clump, is visible. Simulation: Matthew Turk, Tom Abel, Brian O'Shea. Visualization: Matthew Turk. Citation: "The Formation of Population III Binaries from Cosmological Initial Conditions" by Turk, Abel & O'Shea, Science, Volume 325, Issue 5940, pp. 601- (2009).
