Orbital and Mass Ratio Evolution of Protobinaries Driven by Magnetic Braking
Bo Zhao, Zhi-Yun Li
The majority of stars reside in multiple systems, especially binaries. The formation and early evolution of binaries is a longstanding problem in star formation that is not fully u…
Present-Day Star Formation: Protostellar Outflows and Clustered Star Formation
Fumitaka Nakamura, Zhi-Yun Li
Stars form predominantly in clusters inside dense clumps of turbulent, magnetized molecular clouds. The typical size and mass of the cluster-forming clumps are \sim 1 pc and \sim 1…
Fragmentation and OB Star Formation in High-Mass Molecular Hub-Filament System
Hauyu Baobab Liu, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Paul T. -P. Ho +3
Filamentary structures are ubiquitously seen in the interstellar medium. The concentrated molecular mass in the filaments allows fragmentation to occur in a shorter timescale than…
Protostellar Accretion Flows Destabilized by Magnetic Flux Redistribution
Ruben Krasnopolsky, Zhi-Yun Li, Hsien Shang +1
Magnetic flux redistribution lies at the heart of the problem of star formation in dense cores of molecular clouds that are magnetized to a realistic level. If all of the magnetic…
