Divergence-free magnetohydrodynamics on a moving mesh

Volker Springel, Alexander C. Mayer, Rüdiger Pakmor

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe and play an important role in many astrophysical processes, such as star formation and the evolution of galaxies. Hydrodynamical simu…

Formation of protostars and the launching of stellar core outflows with moving-mesh radiation non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics

Alexander C. Mayer, Rüdiger Pakmor, Thorsten Naab +5

We present an implementation of radiative transfer with flux-limited diffusion (FLD) for the moving-mesh code {\small AREPO} and use the method in a physical model for the formatio…

Protostellar disks in their natural habitat -- the formation of protostars and their accretion disks in the turbulent and magnetized interstellar medium

Alexander C. Mayer, Thorsten Naab, Paola Caselli +6

We present simulations of the supernova-driven turbulent interstellar medium (ISM) in a simulation domain of volume within which we resolve the formation of pro…

Moving-mesh non-ideal magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the collapse of cloud cores to protostars

Alexander C. Mayer, Oliver Zier, Thorsten Naab +5

Magnetic fields have been shown both observationally and through theoretical work to be an important factor in the formation of protostars and their accretion disks. Accurate model…

Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics on a moving mesh II: Hall effect

Oliver Zier, Alexander C. Mayer, Volker Springel

In this work we extend the non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) solver in the moving mesh code AREPO to include the Hall effect. The core of our algorithm is based on an estimation…
