Generation of Seed Magnetic Field around First Stars: the Biermann Battery Effect
arXiv:1108.4504 · doi:10.1088/0004-637X/741/2/93
Abstract
We investigate generation processes of magnetic fields around first stars. Since the first stars are expected to form anisotropic ionization fronts in the surrounding clumpy media, magnetic fields are generated by effects of radiation force as well as the Biermann battery effect. We have calculated the amplitude of magnetic field generated by the effects of radiation force around the first stars in the preceding paper, in which the Biermann battery effects are not taken into account.In this paper, we calculate the generation of magnetic fields by the Biermann battery effect as well as the effects of radiation force, utilizing the radiation hydrodynamics simulations. As a result, we find that the generated magnetic field strengths are ~ 10^{-19}G-10^{-17}G at ~ 100pc-1kpc scale mainly by the Biermann battery, which is an order of magnitude larger than the results of our previous study. We also find that this result is insensitive to various physical parameters including the mass of the source star, distance between the source and the dense clump, unless we take unlikely values of these parameters.
