摘要:

辐射转移和磁场对星前致密核的坍缩和碎裂都有很强的影响,但在这样的尺度上还没有一致的计算。我们提出了原始AMR计算,包括磁场(在理想的MHD极限)和辐射转移,在通量限制扩散近似下,1太阳质量的致密核心的崩溃。我们比较的结果与正压EOS进行计算。研究表明,辐射转移通过冷却或加热气体对坍缩和碎裂产生重要影响,并与磁场相互补充。更大的磁场产生更强的磁制动,增加吸积率,从而增加辐射反馈的效果。即使是在磁场主导坍缩动力学的强磁化核中,辐射转移对于确定温度和光学深度分布也是至关重要的,这是两种可能的观测诊断。正压EOS不能解释实际的碎裂。数值方案的扩散,但是,被发现强烈影响输出的崩溃,最终导致虚假的碎片。在恒星形成的数值计算中,必须同时考虑辐射转移和磁场,以获得真实的坍缩构型和可观测的特征。然而,数值分辨率和求解器的鲁棒性是获得可靠结果的首要因素。当使用一个精确的求解器,碎片被发现总是保持抑制的磁场,至少在理想的MHD限制,即使辐射转移包括在内。

英文摘要:

It is established that both radiative transfer and magnetic field have a strong impact on the collapse and the fragmentation of prestellar dense cores, but no consistent calculation exists yet at such scales. We present original AMR calculations including magnetic field (in the ideal MHD limit) and radiative transfer, within the Flux Limited Diffusion approximation, of the collapse of a 1 solar mass dense core. We compare the results with calculations performed with a barotropic EOS. We show that radiative transfer has an important impact on the collapse and the fragmentation, through the cooling or heating of the gas, and is complementary of the magnetic field. A larger field yields a stronger magnetic braking, increasing the accretion rate and thus the effect of the radiative feedback. Even for a strongly magnetized core, where the dynamics of the collapse is dominated by the magnetic field, radiative transfer is crucial to determine the temperature and optical depth distributions, two potentially accessible observational diagnostics. A barotropic EOS cannot account for realistic fragmentation. The diffusivity of the numerical scheme, however, is found to strongly affect the output of the collapse, leading eventually to spurious fragmentation. Both radiative transfer and magnetic field must be included in numerical calculations of star formation to obtain realistic collapse configurations and observable signatures. Nevertheless, the numerical resolution and the robustness of the solver are of prime importance to obtain reliable results. When using an accurate solver, the fragmentation is found to always remain inhibited by the magnetic field, at least in the ideal MHD limit, even when radiative transfer is included.
