Ice Age : Chemo-dynamical modeling of Cha-MMS1 to predict new solid-phase species for detection with JWST
Mihwa Jin, Ka Ho Lam, Melissa K. McClure +6
Chemical models and experiments indicate that interstellar dust grains and their ice mantles play an important role in the production of complex organic molecules (COMs). To date,…
Centrifugal Barrier and Super-Keplerian Rotation in Protostellar Disk Formation
Dylan C. Jones, Ka Ho Lam, Zhi-Yun Li +1
With the advent of ALMA, it is now possible to observationally constrain how disks form around deeply embedded protostars. In particular, the recent ALMA C3H2 line observations of…
Magnetic Spirals in Accretion Flows Originated from Misaligned Magnetic Field
Weixiao Wang, Miikka S. Väisälä, Hsien Shang +4
Misalignment between rotation and magnetic field has been suggested to be one type of physical mechanisms which can easen the effects of magnetic braking during collapse of cloud c…
The Interplay between Ambipolar Diffusion and Hall Effect on Magnetic Field Decoupling and Protostellar Disc Formation
Bo Zhao, Paola Caselli, Zhi-Yun Li +3
Non-ideal MHD effects have been shown recently as a robust mechanism of averting the magnetic braking "catastrophe" and promoting protostellar disc formation. However, the magnetic…
Hall Effect in Protostellar Disc Formation and Evolution
Bo Zhao, Paola Caselli, Zhi-Yun Li +3
The Hall effect is recently shown to be efficient in magnetized dense molecular cores, and could lead to a bimodal formation of rotationally supported discs (RSDs) in the first cor…
Disk Formation in Magnetized Dense Cores with Turbulence and Ambipolar Diffusion
Ka Ho Lam, Zhi-Yun Li, Che-Yu Chen +2
Disks are essential to the formation of both stars and planets, but how they form in magnetized molecular cloud cores remains debated. This work focuses on how the disk formation i…
