Dissipation of Magnetic Flux in Primordial Star Formation: From Run-away Phase to Mass Accretion Phase

Abstract

We investigate the dissipation of magnetic flux in primordial star-forming clouds throughout their collapse including the run-away collapse phase as well as the accretion phase. We solve the energy equation and the non-equilibrium chemical reactions in the collapsing gas, in order to obtain the radial distribution of the ionized fraction during the collapse. As a result, we find the ionized fraction is high enough for the magnetic field to couple with the gas throughout the evolution of the cloud. This result suggests that the jet formation from protostars as well as the activation of magneto-rotational instability in the accretion disk are enabled in the presence of the cosmological seed magnetic flux proposed by Langer et al.(2003).
