The first Galaxy scale hunt for the youngest high-mass protostars

T. Csengeri, S. Bontemps, F. Wyrowski +17

The origin of massive stars is a fundamental open issue in modern astrophysics. Pre-ALMA interferometric studies reveal precursors to early B to late O type stars with collapsing e…

Ambipolar diffusion in low-mass star formation. I. General comparison with the ideal MHD case

Jacques Masson, Gilles Chabrier, Patrick Hennebelle +2

In this paper, we provide a more accurate description of the evolution of the magnetic flux redistribution during prestellar core collapse by including resistive terms in the magne…

An implicit scheme for solving the anisotropic diffusion of heat and cosmic rays in the RAMSES code

Yohan Dubois, Benoît Commerçon

Astrophysical plasmas are subject to a tight connection between magnetic fields and the diffusion of particles, which leads to an anisotropic transport of energy. Under the fluid a…

Nascent bipolar outflows associated with the first hydrostatic core candidates Barnard 1b-N and 1b-S

M. Gerin, J. Pety, A. Fuente +3

In the theory of star formation, the first hydrostatic core (FHSC) phase is a critical step in which a condensed object emerges from a prestellar core. This step lasts about one th…

Cosmic-ray propagation at small scale: a support for protostellar disc formation

Marco Padovani, Daniele Galli, Patrick Hennebelle +2

As long as magnetic fields remain frozen into the gas, the magnetic braking prevents the formation of protostellar discs. This condition is subordinate to the ionisation fraction c…
