Magnetic fields during high redshift structure formation
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Muhammad Latif, Jennifer Schober +6
We explore the amplification of magnetic fields in the high-redshift Universe. For this purpose, we perform high-resolution cosmological simulations following the formation of prim…
Small-Scale Dynamo Action in Primordial Halos
Jennifer Schober, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Ralf S. Klessen +4
The first galaxies form due to gravitational collapse of primordial halos. During this collapse, weak magnetic seed fields get amplified exponentially by the small-scale dynamo - a…
The impact of thermodynamics on gravitational collapse: filament formation and magnetic field amplification
Thomas Peters, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Ralf S. Klessen +4
Stars form by the gravitational collapse of interstellar gas. The thermodynamic response of the gas can be characterized by an effective equation of state. It determines how gas he…
Are molecular outflows around high-mass stars driven by ionization feedback?
Thomas Peters, Pamela D. Klaassen, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +2
The formation of massive stars exceeding 10 solar masses usually results in large-scale molecular outflows. Numerical simulations, including ionization, of the formation of such st…
The Small-Scale Dynamo and Non-Ideal MHD in Primordial Star Formation
Jennifer Schober, Dominik Schleicher, Christoph Federrath +3
We study the amplification of magnetic fields during the formation of primordial halos. The turbulence generated by gravitational infall motions during the formation of the first s…
Generation of strong magnetic fields via the small-scale dynamo during the formation of the first stars
Robi Banerjee, Sharanya Sur, Christoph Federrath +2
Here we summarize our recent results of high-resolution computer simulations on the turbulent amplification of weak magnetic seed fields showing that such fields will be exponentia…
