چکیده

We investigate the dissipation of magnetic flux in primordial star-forming clouds throughout their collapse including the run-away collapse phase as well as the accretion phase. We solve the energy equation and the non-equilibrium chemical reactions in the collapsing gas, in order to obtain the radial distribution of the ionized fraction during the collapse. As a result, we find the ionized fraction is high enough for the magnetic field to couple with the gas throughout the evolution of the cloud. This result suggests that the jet formation from protostars as well as the activation of magneto-rotational instability in the accretion disk are enabled in the presence of the cosmological seed magnetic flux proposed by Langer, Puget & Aghanim (2003).

Magnetically-controled Spasmodic Accretion during Star Formation: Ii. Results

The problem of the late accretion phase of the evolution of an axisymmetric, isothermal magnetic disk surrounding a forming star has been formulated in a companion paper. The “central sink approximation” is used to circumvent the problem of describing the evolution inside the opaque central region for densities greater than 10 cm and radii smaller than a few AUs. Only the electrons are assumed ...

Dissipation of Magnetic Flux in Primordial Gas Clouds

We report the strength of seed magnetic flux of accretion disk surrounding the PopIII stars. The magnetic field in accretion disk might play an important role in the transport of angular momentum because of the turbulence induced by Magneto-Rotational Instability (MRI). On the other hand, since the primordial star-forming clouds contain no heavy elements and grains, they experience much differe...

Gravitational Collapse of Magnetized Clouds Ii. the Role of Ohmic Dissipation

We formulate the problem of magnetic field dissipation during the accretion phase of low-mass star formation, and we carry out the first step of an iterative solution procedure by assuming that the gas is in free-fall along radial field lines. This so-called “kinematic approximation” ignores the back reaction of the Lorentz force on the accretion flow. In quasi steady-state, and assuming the re...

Effect of the temperature profile of the accretion disk on the structure of jets and outflows around protostars

Magnetic fields play an important role in creating, driving, and in the evolution of outflows and jets from protostars and accretion disks. On the other hand, the temperature profile of the accretion disks may also affect the structure of the magnetic field and outflows. In this paper, we use the self-similar method in cylindrical coordinates to investigate the effect of the temperature profile...

اثر مقاومت مغناطیسی متغیر بر ساختار قرصهای برافزایشی با پهن رفت غالب مغناطیده دوقطبی

In this work, we carry out self –similar solutions of viscous-resistive accretion flows around a magnetized compact object. We consider an axi-symmetric, rotating, isothermal steady accretion flow, which contains a poloidal magnetic field of the central star. The dominant mechanism of energy dissipation is assumed to be the turbulence viscosity and magnetic diffusivity due to the magnetic field...
