自引力分子云核中的Turbulence

Turbulence in a self-gravitating molecular cloud core

Siyao Xu, Alex Lazarian

摘要:

外部驱动的星际湍流在形成分子云中的密度结构中起着重要的作用。在这里,我们研究的动力学作用的内部驱动的湍流在自引力分子云的核心。根据初始条件和演化阶段,我们发现,在重力驱动的湍流的存在下,自引力核心可以经历恒定的,减速的,和加速的下落,从而具有各种径向速度分布。在重力主导的中心区域,更高水平的湍流导致更低的下落速度,更高的密度和更低的质量吸积率。作为这项研究的一个重要意义,有效的重联扩散的磁场对重力阻力自然发生由于重力驱动的湍流,而不调用外部驱动的湍流。

英文摘要:

Externally driven interstellar turbulence plays an important role in shaping the density structure in molecular clouds. Here we study the dynamical role of internally driven turbulence in a self-gravitating molecular cloud core. Depending on the initial conditions and evolutionary stages, we find that a self-gravitating core in the presence of gravity-driven turbulence can undergo constant, decelerated, and accelerated infall, and thus has various radial velocity profiles. In the gravity-dominated central region, a higher level of turbulence results in a lower infall velocity, a higher density, and a lower mass accretion rate. As an important implication of this study, efficient reconnection diffusion of magnetic fields against the gravitational drag naturally occurs due to the gravity-driven turbulence, without invoking externally driven turbulence.
