初始磁场结构在原恒星喷流发射中的作用

The role of initial magnetic field structure in the launching of protostellar jets

Isabella A. Gerrard, Christoph Federrath, Rajika Kuruwita

摘要:

众所周知,磁场在恒星形成过程中起着至关重要的作用,特别是在原恒星盘的喷流和外流的形成中。恒星形成区域的磁场结构并不总是均匀有序的,经常包含磁湍流区域。我们提出了基于网格的,磁流体动力学模拟的崩溃1 $\,\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$云核,调查的影响,复杂的磁场结构外流的形成,形态和效率。我们比较了三种情况:均匀场,部分湍流场和完全湍流场,在所有三种情况下具有相同的磁能。我们发现,准直射流产生的均匀场的情况下,由磁离心机制驱动。在部分湍流的情况下也会形成外流,尽管较弱且准直性较差,但具有不对称的形态。从部分湍流情况下发射的流出物携带与均匀场情况相同的质量,但速度较低,只有均匀场情况下的动量的71 $\%$。在完全湍流场的情况下,我们发现根本没有显著的外流。此外,湍流的磁场最初降低了吸积率,后来导致圆盘破碎,形成多个原恒星。我们的结论是,一个均匀的极向分量的磁场是必要的驱动射流。

英文摘要:

Magnetic fields are known to play a crucial role in the star formation process, particularly in the formation of jets and outflows from protostellar discs. The magnetic field structure in star forming regions is not always uniform and ordered, often containing regions of magnetic turbulence. We present grid-based, magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of the collapse of a 1$\,\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$ cloud core, to investigate the influence of complex magnetic field structures on outflow formation, morphology and efficiency. We compare three cases: a uniform field, a partially turbulent field and a fully turbulent field, with the same magnetic energy in all three cases. We find that collimated jets are produced in the uniform-field case, driven by a magneto-centrifugal mechanism. Outflows also form in the partially turbulent case, although weaker and less collimated, with an asymmetric morphology. The outflows launched from the partially turbulent case carry the same amount of mass as the uniform-field case but at lower speeds, having only have 71$\%$ of the momentum of the uniform-field case. In the case of a fully turbulent field, we find no significant outflows at all. Moreover, the turbulent magnetic field initially reduces the accretion rate and later induces fragmentation of the disc, forming multiple protostars. We conclude that a uniform poloidal component of the magnetic field is necessary for the driving of jets.
