Super-Jeans fragmentation in massive star-forming regions revealed by triangulation analysis
Guang-Xing Li, Mengke Zhao, Xing Lu
Understanding the fragmentation of the gas cloud and the formation of massive stars remains one of the most challenging questions of modern astrophysical research. Either the gas f…
Slope of Magnetic Field-Density Relation as An Indicator of Magnetic Dominance
Mengke Zhao, Guang-Xing Li, Keping Qiu
The electromagnetic field is a fundamental force in nature that regulates the formation of stars in the universe. Despite decades of efforts, a reliable assessment of the importanc…
Magnetic, Kinetic, and Transition Regime: Spatially-Segregated Structure of Compressive MHD Turbulence
Guang-Xing Li, Mengke Zhao
Turbulence is a complex physical process prevalent in modern physics, particularly in ionized environments like interstellar gas, where magnetic fields play a dynamic role. However…
Curvature Mapping Method: Mapping Lorentz Force in Orion A
Mengke Zhao, Guang-Xing Li, Keping Qiu
Magnetic force is a fundamental force in nature. Although widely believed to be important in counterbalancing against collapse in star formation, a clear evaluation of the role of…
