The Role of Magnetic Fields in the Stability and Fragmentation of Filamentary Molecular Clouds: Two Case Studies at OMC-3 and OMC-4
Pak Shing Li, Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Archana Soam +1
We present the stability analysis of two regions, OMC-3 and OMC-4, in the massive and long molecular cloud complex of Orion A. We obtained m HAWC+/SOFIA polarization data, a…
The Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi Method Revisited
Che-Yu Chen, Zhi-Yun Li, Renato R. Mazzei +5
Despite the rich observational results on interstellar magnetic fields in star-forming regions, it is still unclear how dynamically significant the magnetic fields are at varying p…
Magnetic fields in the formation of the first stars.--II Results
Athena Stacy, Christopher F. McKee, Aaron T. Lee +2
Beginning with cosmological initial conditions at z=100, we simulate the effects of magnetic fields on the formation of Population III stars and compare our results with the predic…
Mapping the magnetic field in the Taurus/B211 filamentary cloud with SOFIA HAWC+ and comparing with simulation
Pak Shing Li, Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Hamza Ajeddig +4
Optical and infrared polarization mapping and recent Planck observations of the filamentary cloud L1495 in Taurus show that the large-scale magnetic field is approximately perpendi…
Magnetized interstellar molecular clouds: II. The Large-Scale Structure and Dynamics of Filamentary Molecular Clouds
Pak Shing Li, Richard I. Klein
We perform ideal MHD high resolution AMR simulations with driven turbulence and self-gravity and find that long filamentary molecular clouds are formed at the converging locations…
Effect of Angular Momentum Alignment and Strong Magnetic Fields on the Formation of Protostellar Disks
William J. Gray, Christopher F. McKee, Richard I. Klein
Star forming molecular clouds are observed to be both highly magnetized and turbulent. Consequently the formation of protostellar disks is largely dependent on the complex interact…
