Alan P. Boss, Sandra A. Keiser

摘要:

磁场是分子云核心坍缩动力学的重要因素,对坍缩是否导致单一原恒星或分裂成双星或多原恒星系统有重大影响。提出了新的模型的崩溃的磁云核使用自适应网格细化(AMR)的代码恩佐2.0。该程序被用来计算初始球形、均匀密度和旋转云的理想磁流体动力学(MHD),Boss和Bodenheimer(1979)三维(3D)流体动力学(HD)代码的标准等温测试情况。在首先验证恩佐再现了预期的非磁性测试用例的二进制碎片,一个大的一组模型计算不同的初始磁场强度和方向相对于云核旋转轴(平行或垂直),密度扰动幅度,状态方程。产生了三种显着不同的结果:(1)收缩而不持续坍缩,形成更致密的云核,(2)坍缩形成具有显着旋臂的单个原恒星,以及(3)坍缩并分裂成具有多个旋臂的二元或多个原恒星系统。与以前的MHD计算类似的云与正压状态方程进行了比较。这些结果的坍缩的初始密度均匀的球体说明了核心的重要性,磁场方向和场强,以确定动态的原恒星坍缩的结果。

英文摘要:

Magnetic fields are important contributers to the dynamics of collapsing molecular cloud cores, and can have a major effect on whether collapse results in a single protostar or fragmentation into a binary or multiple protostar system. New models are presented of the collapse of magnetic cloud cores using the adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) code Enzo2.0. The code was used to calculate the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) of initially spherical, uniform density and rotation clouds with density perturbations, i.e., the Boss and Bodenheimer (1979) standard isothermal test case for three dimensional (3D) hydrodynamics (HD) codes. After first verifying that Enzo reproduces the binary fragmentation expected for the non-magnetic test case, a large set of models was computed with varied initial magnetic field strengths and directions with respect to the cloud core axis of rotation (parallel or perpendicular), density perturbation amplitudes, and equations of state. Three significantly different outcomes resulted: (1) contraction without sustained collapse, forming a denser cloud core, (2) collapse to form a single protostar with significant spiral arms, and (3) collapse and fragmentation into binary or multiple protostar systems, with multiple spiral arms. Comparisons are also made with previous MHD calculations of similar clouds with barotropic equations of state. These results for the collapse of initially uniform density spheres illustrate the central importance of both magnetic field direction and field strength for determining the outcome of dynamic protostellar collapse.
