Ambipolar Diffusion in Molecular Cloud Cores and the Gravomagneto Catastrophe
This paper re-examines the problem of ambipolar diffusion as a mechanism for the production and runaway evolution of centrally condensed molecular cloud cores, a process that has been termed the gravomagneto catastrophe. Our calculation applies in the geometric limit of a highly flattened core and allows for a semi-analytic treatment of the full problem, although physical fixes are required to ...
متن کاملOn the fragmentation of magnetized cloud cores
Recent calculations with a two-fluid smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code of the collapse of a magnetized dense core have found little evidence for fragmentation. These calculations have been interpreted as implying that magnetic braking by magnetic tension forces is sufficient to inhibit fragmentation, contrary to a suggestion by Boss that magnetic fields might encourage fragmentation. H...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Simulation of Magnetized Cloud Fragmentation Induced by Nonlinear Flows and Ambipolar Diffusion
We demonstrate that the formation of collapsing cores in subcritical clouds is accelerated by nonlinear flows, by performing three-dimensional non-ideal MHD simulations. An initial random supersonic (and trans-Alfvénic) turbulent-like flow is input into a self-gravitating gas layer that is threaded by a uniform magnetic field (perpendicular to the layer) such that the initial mass-to-flux ratio...
متن کاملCollapse of Rotating Magnetized Molecular Cloud Cores and Mass Outflows
Collapse of the rotating magnetized molecular cloud core is studied with the axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations. Due to the change of the equation of state of the interstellar gas, the molecular cloud cores experience several different phases as collapse proceeds. In the isothermal run-away collapse (n ∼< 10 H2 cm ), a pseudo-disk is formed and it continues to contract till th...
متن کاملOutflows and Jets from Collapsing Magnetized Cloud Cores
Star formation is usually accompanied by outflow phenomena. There is strong evidence that these outflows and jets are launched from the protostellar disk by magneto-rotational processes. Here, we report on our three dimensional, adaptive mesh, magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of collapsing, rotating, magnetized Bonnor-Ebert-Spheres whose properties are taken directly from observations. In contr...
