Can Nonlinear Hydromagnetic Waves Support a Self-Gravitating Cloud?
Using self-consistent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations, we explore the hypothesis that nonlinear MHD waves dominate the internal dynamics of galactic molecular clouds. Our models employ an isothermal equation of state and allow for self-gravity. We adopt “slab-symmetry,” which permits motions v⊥ and fields B⊥ perpendicular to the mean field, but permits gradients only parallel to the mean ...
متن کاملNonlinear Hydromagnetic Wave Support of a Stratified Molecular Cloud
We perform numerical simulations of nonlinear MHD waves in a gravitationally stratified molecular cloud that is bounded by a hot and tenuous external medium. We study the relation between the strength of the turbulence and various global properties of a molecular cloud, within a 1.5-dimensional approximation. Under the influence of a driving source of Alfvénic disturbances, the cloud is lifted ...
متن کاملNonlinear Hydromagnetic Wave Support of a Stratified Molecular Cloud II: A Parameter Study
We use numerical simulations to study the effect of nonlinear MHD waves in a stratified, self-gravitating molecular cloud that is bounded by a hot and tenuous external medium. In a previous paper, we had shown the details of a standard model and studied the effect of varying the dimensionless amplitude ãd of sinusoidal driving. In this paper, we present the results of varying two other importan...
متن کاملCylindrically Symmetric Solitons with Nonlinear Self-gravitating Scalar Fields
Static, cylindrically symmetric solutions to nonlinear scalar-Einstein equations are considered. Regularity conditions on the symmetry axis and flat or string asymptotic conditions are formulated in order to select soliton-like solutions. Some non-existence theorems are proved, in particular, theorems asserting (i) the absence of black-hole and wormholelike cylindrically symmetric solutions for...
متن کاملSelf-gravitating String-like Configurations from Nonlinear Electrodynamics
We consider static, cylindrically symmetric configurations in general relativity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) with an arbitrary gauge-invariant Lagrangian of the form Lem = Φ(F ) , F = FαβF αβ . We study electric and magnetic fields with three possible orientations: radial (R), longitudinal (L) and azimuthal (A), and try to find solitonic stringlike solutions, having a regular axi...
