Magnetic Braking and Protostellar Disk Formation: Ambipolar Diffusion
It is established that the formation of rotationally supported disks during the main accretion phase of star formation is suppressed by a moderately strong magnetic field in the ideal MHD limit. Non-ideal MHD effects are expected to weaken the magnetic braking, perhaps allowing the disk to reappear. We concentrate on one such effect, ambipolar diffusion, which enables the field lines to slip re...
متن کامل7 Magnetic Braking and Protostellar Disk Formation : The Ideal MHD Limit
Magnetic fields are usually considered dynamically important in star formation when the dimensionless mass-to-flux ratio is close to, or less than, unity (λ . 1). We show that, in disk formation, the requirement is far less stringent. This conclusion is drawn from a set of 2D (axisymmetric) simulations of the collapse of rotating, singular isothermal cores magnetized to different degrees. We fi...
متن کاملFormation of a Dynamically Contracting Protostellar Disk
We present similarity solutions that describe the runaway collapse of a rotating isothermal cloud and its subsequent inside-out collapse. During the runaway collapse, the surface density of the disk is nearly constant in the central part and inversely proportional to the radius in the tail. As the central surface density increases by collapse, the central high surface density part shrinks in ma...
متن کاملTauri disk winds heated by ambipolar diffusion I - Thermal structure
Motivated by recent subarcsecond resolution observations of jets from T Tauri stars, we extend the work of (Safier 1993a,b) by computing the thermal and ionization structure of self-similar, magnetically-driven, atomic disk winds heated by ambipolar diffusion. Improvements over his work include: (1) new magnetized cold jet solutions consistent with the underlying accretion disk (Ferreira 1997);...
متن کاملProtostellar Disk Dynamos and Hydromagnetic Outflows in Primordial Star Formation
Star formation occurs via accretion through a disk, which is likely to be turbulent, either because of gravitational or magnetorotational instability. Dynamo amplification of magnetic fields needs to be considered. As the disks are also stratified, the turbulence can be helical, with different signs of the helicity in each hemisphere. This provides a key ingredient for amplification of global s...
