Nonlinear Evolution of Gravitational Fragmentation Regulated by Magnetic Fields and Ambipolar Diffusion
Shantanu Basu, Glenn E. Ciolek, James Wurster
We present results from an extensive set of simulations of gravitational fragmentation in the presence of magnetic fields and ambipolar diffusion. The average fragmentation spacing…

Driven waves in a two-fluid plasma
W. G. Roberge, Glenn E. Ciolek
We study the physics of wave propagation in a weakly ionised plasma, as it applies to the formation of multifluid, MHD shock waves. We model the plasma as separate charged and neut…

The Razor's Edge: Magnetic Fields and Their Fundamental Role in Star Formation and Observations of Protostellar Coress
Glenn E. Ciolek, Shantanu Basu
We review theoretical models of the early stages of star formation, in which gravitational collapse is strongly regulated by magnetic fields and the associated process of ambipolar…
