Plenary Session - Forming Stars Inside Supercomputers
Tuesday June 10, 2025 8:30am - 9:30am CDT
Stars are the atoms of the Universe: they power the evolution of galaxies like our Milky Way, shape the formation of planetary systems, and produce the elements necessary for life. As stars form they influence their birth environment through heating, winds, and supernova explosions. Since we can’t watch stars form in ‘real time’, the world’s largest supercomputers provide a crucial laboratory to study the complex process that creates stars like our Sun. In this talk, I will discuss how we use computers to model forming stars and aim to answer open questions: What sets the mass of stars? Why do some solar systems have more than one star? Why is star formation so inefficient in our galaxy, which forms only a few stars per year?
