The Razor's Edge: Magnetic Fields and Their Fundamental Role in Star Formation and Observations of Protostellar Coress

Glenn E. Ciolek, Shantanu Basu

We review theoretical models of the early stages of star formation, in which gravitational collapse is strongly regulated by magnetic fields and the associated process of ambipolar…

On the Timescale for the Formation of Protostellar Cores in Magnetic Interstellar Clouds

Glenn E. Ciolek, Shantanu Basu

We revisit the problem of the formation of dense protostellar cores due to ambipolar diffusion within magnetically supported molecular clouds, and derive an analytical expression f…
