摘要:

本文首次报道了三维辐射磁流体动力学(RMHD)模拟的原恒星坍缩过程,考虑了研究恒星形成过程所需的许多物理过程,包括一个真实的状态方程。我们遵循从分子云核心的演变,直到原恒星核心形成足够高的分辨率,而不引入一个汇粒子。详细描述了模拟过程中涉及的物理过程和所采用的数值方法,由于原始星核形成的时间尺度非常短,直接的三维RMHD模拟只能计算出原始星核形成后一年左右的时间,但成功地描述了恒星形成过程的早期阶段。的热演化和结构的第一和第二(原恒星)的核心是一致的,与以前的一维模拟使用全辐射传输,但有很大的不同,从以前的多维研究与正压近似。由于磁场有效的角动量输运,在理想的MHD模型中,原恒星核几乎是球对称的,但是欧姆耗散使得在原恒星核附近形成星周盘,就像以前的MHD研究中的正压近似一样。形成的圆盘仍然很小(小于0.35 AU),因为我们只模拟了最早的进化。我们还证实,两种不同类型的外流是自然发射的磁场从第一个核心和原恒星核心的电阻MHD模型。

英文摘要:

We report the first three-dimensional radiation magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) simulations of protostellar collapse with and without Ohmic dissipation.We take into account many physical processes required to study star formation processes, including a realistic equation of state. We follow the evolution from molecular cloud cores until protostellar cores are formed with sufficiently high resolutions without introducing a sink particle. The physical processes involved in the simulations and adopted numerical methods are described in detail.We can calculate only about one year after the formation of the protostellar cores with our direct three-dimensional RMHD simulations because of the extremely short timescale in the deep interior of the formed protostellar cores, but successfully describe the early phase of star formation processes. The thermal evolution and the structure of the first and second (protostellar) cores are consistent with previous one-dimensional simulations using full radiation transfer, but differ considerably from preceding multi-dimensional studies with the barotropic approximation. The protostellar cores evolve virtually spherically symmetric in the ideal MHD models because of efficient angular momentum transport by magnetic fields, but Ohmic dissipation enables the formation of the circumstellar disks in the vicinity of the protostellar cores as in previous MHD studies with the barotropic approximation. The formed disks are still small (less than 0.35 AU) because we simulate only the earliest evolution. We also confirm that two different types of outflows are naturally launched by magnetic fields from the first cores and protostellar cores in the resistive MHD models.
