Figure 2.
Mass-weighted phase space diagrams of density versus temperature at the initial collapse (left), 5 Myr after the collapse (middle), and 14.3 Myr after the collapse (right) which is the point at which we extract the clump properties from the simulation for input into direct N-body calculations. This includes all gas within 10 pc of the densest cell. The gas cools to a few hundred kelvin initially due to H2 cooling and then reaches the CMB temperature floor due to HD and metal cooling. The dashed lines represent the CMB temperature floor and the artificial temperature floor as labelled.
