Protostellar Collapse Induced by Compression. II: Rotation and Fragmentation
We investigate numerically and semi-analytically the collapse of low-mass, rotating prestellar cores. Initially, the cores are in approximate equilibrium with low rotation (the initial ratio of thermal to gravitational energy is α0 ≃ 0.5, and the initial ratio of rotational to gravitational energy is β0 = 0.02 to 0.05). They are then subjected to a steady increase in external pressure. Fragment...
متن کاملProtostellar collapse: radiative and magnetic feedbacks on small scale fragmentation
Context. Both radiative transfer and magnetic field are understood to have strong impacts on the collapse and the fragmentation of prestellar dense cores, but no consistent calculation exists on these scales. Aims: We perform the first radiation-magneto-hydrodynamics numerical calculations on a prestellar core scale. Methods: We present original AMR calculations including that of a magnetic fie...
متن کاملAn MHD Gadget for cosmological simulations
Various radio observations have shown that the hot atmospheres of galaxy clusters are magnetized. However, our understanding of the origin of these magnetic fields, their implications on structure formation and their interplay with the dynamics of the cluster atmosphere, especially in the centers of galaxy clusters, is still very limited. In preparation for the upcoming new generation of radio ...
متن کاملProtostellar Collapse Induced by Compression
We present numerical simulations of the evolution of low-mass, isothermal, molecular cores which are subjected to an increase in external pressure Pext. If Pext increases very slowly, the core approaches instability quite quasistatically. However, for larger (but still quite modest) dPext/dt a compression wave is driven into the core, thereby triggering collapse from the outside in. If collapse...
متن کاملRadiation-hydrodynamic Simulations of Collapse and Fragmentation in Massive Protostellar Cores
We simulate the early stages of the evolution of turbulent, virialized, high-mass protostellar cores, with primary attention to how cores fragment, and whether they form a small or large number of protostars. Our simulations use the Orion adaptive mesh refinement code to follow the collapse from ∼ 0.1 pc scales to ∼ 10 AU scales, for durations that cover the main fragmentation phase, using thre...
