Protostellar discs formed from turbulent cores

摘要:

我们调查的崩溃和破碎的低质量,trans-sonically湍流星前核心,使用SPH模拟。初始条件是稍超临界的Bonnor-Ebert球,它们具有相同的密度分布、相同的质量(M_O=6.1 Msun)和相同的半径(R_O= 17,000 AU),但具有不同的初始湍流速度场。已经产生了400个紊流速度场,所有这些都按比例缩放,使得平均马赫数为M=1。然后,这些子集,有一个范围内的净角动量,j,已经演变。这些湍流核心的演化与j没有很强的相关性。相反,由于会聚的湍流形成了对流结构,从而缓和了湍流核心的演化。大部分(~ 82%)的原恒星是由湍流核心形成的,其中有原恒星吸积盘,但只有很小一部分(~16%)的吸积盘足够冷,并扩展到发展非线性引力不稳定性和碎片。

英文摘要:

We investigate the collapse and fragmentation of low-mass, trans-sonically turbulent prestellar cores, using SPH simulations. The initial conditions are slightly supercritical Bonnor-Ebert spheres, all with the same density profile, the same mass (M_O=6.1 Msun) and the same radius (R_O=17,000 AU), but having different initial turbulent velocity fields. Four hundred turbulent velocity fields have been generated, all scaled so that the mean Mach number is M=1. Then a subset of these, having a range of net angular momenta, j, has been evolved. The evolution of these turbulent cores is not strongly correlated with j. Instead it is moderated by the formation of filamentary structures due to converging turbulent flows. A high fraction (~ 82%) of the protostars forming from turbulent cores are attended by protostellar accretion discs, but only a very small fraction (~16%) of these discs is sufficiently cool and extended to develop non-linear gravitational instabilities and fragment.
