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…
Anisotropic Formation of Magnetized Cores in Turbulent Clouds
Che-Yu Chen, Eve C. Ostriker
In giant molecular clouds (GMCs), shocks driven by converging turbulent flows create high-density, strongly-magnetized regions that are locally sheetlike. In previous work, we show…
CARMA Large Area Star Formation Survey: Structure and Kinematics of Dense Gas in Serpens Main
Katherine I. Lee, Manuel Fernandez-Lopez, Shaye Storm +21
We present observations of N2H+(1-0), HCO+(1-0), and HCN(1-0) toward the Serpens Main molecular cloud from the CARMA Large Area Star Formation Survey (CLASSy). We mapped 150 square…
CARMA Large Area Star Formation Survey: Project Overview with Analysis of Dense Gas Structure and Kinematics in Barnard 1
S. Storm, L. G. Mundy, M. Fernández-López +22
We present details of the CARMA Large Area Star Formation Survey (CLASSy), while focusing on observations of Barnard 1. CLASSy is a CARMA Key Project that spectrally imaged N2H+, H…
Formation of Magnetized Prestellar Cores with Ambipolar Diffusion and Turbulence
Che-Yu Chen, Eve C. Ostriker
We investigate the roles of magnetic fields and ambipolar diffusion during prestellar core formation in turbulent giant molecular clouds (GMCs), using three-dimensional numerical s…
Ambipolar Diffusion in Action: Transient C shock Structure and Prestellar Core Formation
Che-Yu Chen, Eve C. Ostriker
We analyze the properties of steady and time-dependent C shocks under conditions prevailing in giant molecular clouds. For steady C shocks, we show that ionization equilibrium hold…
