分子云核对恒星密度的坍缩:星核形成对星周盘的辐射影响

Collapse of a molecular cloud core to stellar densities: the radiative impact of stellar core formation on the circumstellar disc

Matthew R. Bate

摘要:

我们目前的结果,从第一个三维辐射流体动力学计算遵循崩溃的分子云核心超越恒星核心的形成。我们发现恒星核心的形成所释放的能量,在光学厚度的第一流体静力学核心,是可比的盘状的第一个核心的结合能。这加热了盘的内部区域,驱动冲击波穿过盘,大大降低了恒星核心的吸积率,并发射了一个垂直于旋转轴的临时双极外流,其传播超过50 AU进入下降的包层。这种爆发可能有助于年轻的原恒星发射常规的磁喷流。此外,如果这些事件是周期性的,它们可能提供了一种机制,即由长时间相对静止的吸积分离的强烈的吸积爆发,可以潜在地解决原恒星的光度问题和年轻星团中恒星的表观年龄分布。这样的爆发也可能为陨石中发现的球粒提供了一种形成机制,流出物将它们在星周盘中运送到很远的地方。

英文摘要:

We present results from the first three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamical calculations to follow the collapse of a molecular cloud core beyond the formation of the stellar core. We find the energy released by the formation of the stellar core, within the optically-thick first hydrostatic core, is comparable to the binding energy of the disc-like first core. This heats the inner regions of the disc, drives a shock wave through the disc, dramatically decreases the accretion rate on to the stellar core, and launches a temporary bipolar outflow perpendicular to the rotation axis that travels in excess of 50 AU into the infalling envelope. This outburst may assist the young protostar in launching a conventional magnetic jet. Furthermore, if these events are cyclic, they may provide a mechanism for intense bursts of accretion separated by long periods of relatively quiescent accretion which can potentially solve both the protostellar luminosity problem and the apparent age spread of stars in young clusters. Such outbursts may also provide a formation mechanism for the chondrules found in meteorites, with the outflow transporting them to large distances in the circumstellar disc.
