Magnetic Braking and Protostellar Disk Formation: Ambipolar Diffusion
Richard R. Mellon, Zhi-Yun Li
It is established that the formation of rotationally supported disks during the main accretion phase of star formation is suppressed by a moderately strong magnetic field in the id…
The Molecular Ridge Close to 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Juergen Ott, Tony Wong, Jorge L. Pineda +9
With the ATNF Mopra telescope we are performing a survey in the 12CO(1-0) line to map the molecular gas in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). For some regions we also obtained inter…
Magnetically Regulated Star Formation in 3D: The Case of Taurus Molecular Cloud Complex
Fumitaka Nakamura, Zhi-Yun Li
We carry out three-dimensional MHD simulations of star formation in turbulent, magnetized clouds, including ambipolar diffusion and feedback from protostellar outflows. The calcula…
The Formation of Distributed and Clustered Stars in Molecular Clouds
S. T. Megeath, Zhi-Yun Li, Aake Nordlund
During the last two decades, the focus of star formation research has shifted from understanding the collapse of a single dense core into a star to studying the formation hundreds…
