The distribution of dense (ρ ≳ 100 cm⁻³) gas and newly formed stars as a function of height and simulation time. Top panel: grayscale 2D histograms of the dense gas distribution at every simulation output, showing significant structure in the dense gas distribution. Middle panel: star particles are plotted at their formation time and position over the dense gas distribution from the top panel. The star particles are colored based on their initial velocity in the wind direction (v_z,init). SF tends to occur in regions with more dense gas (darker gray). At later times and large z-values, stars form from gas that has been accelerated to higher velocities. Bottom panel: a zoom-in on the middle panel, with a narrower v_z,init color bar, to highlight the velocity differences over time in the main stellar clump.
