非理想磁流体动力学与turbulence II:哪一个是恒星核心形成的主导过程?

Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics vs turbulence II: Which is the dominant process in stellar core formation?

James Wurster, Benjamin T. Lewis

摘要:

非理想磁流体动力学(MHD)是主导过程。通过跟踪1~M $_\odot$气体云通过第一流体静力核到恒星密度的引力坍缩过程,研究了磁场(理想和非理想)和湍流(亚音速和跨音速)对原恒星形成的影响.云施加旋转和湍流速度,并线程与磁场是平行/反平行或垂直于旋转轴,我们调查两个旋转速率和四个马赫数。恒星核的初始半径和质量仅弱依赖于初始参数。在包含理想MHD的模型中,在原恒星诞生时植入的磁场强度远高于观测值,与初始湍流水平无关;只有非理想MHD才能将此强度降低到接近或低于观测值。这表明,理想的磁流体动力学不仅是恒星形成的不完整图像,而且低质量恒星中的磁场是在生命后期通过发电机过程注入的。非理想的磁流体动力学抑制磁发射的恒星核心流出,但湍流允许热发射的流出形成后几年的恒星核心形成。

英文摘要:

Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the dominant process. We investigate the effect of magnetic fields (ideal and non-ideal) and turbulence (sub- and transsonic) on the formation of protostars by following the gravitational collapse of 1~M$_\odot$ gas clouds through the first hydrostatic core to stellar densities. The clouds are imposed with both rotational and turbulent velocities, and are threaded with a magnetic field that is parallel/anti-parallel or perpendicular to the rotation axis; we investigate two rotation rates and four Mach numbers. The initial radius and mass of the stellar core are only weakly dependent on the initial parameters. In the models that include ideal MHD, the magnetic field strength implanted in the protostar at birth is much higher than observed, independent of the initial level of turbulence; only non-ideal MHD can reduce this strength to near or below the observed levels. This suggests that not only is ideal MHD an incomplete picture of star formation, but that the magnetic fields in low mass stars are implanted later in life by a dynamo process. Non-ideal MHD suppresses magnetically launched stellar core outflows, but turbulence permits thermally launched outflows to form a few years after stellar core formation.
