Statistical analysis of the mass-to-flux ratio in turbulent cores: effects of magnetic field reversals and dynamo amplification
Erik Bertram, Christoph Federrath, Robi Banerjee +1
We study the mass-to-flux ratio (M/Φ) of clumps and cores in simulations of supersonic, magnetohydrodynamical turbulence for different initial magnetic field strengths. We investig…
Importance of the Initial Conditions for Star Formation - III: Statistical Properties of Embedded Protostellar Clusters
Philipp Girichidis, Christoph Federrath, Richard Allison +2
We investigate the formation of protostellar clusters during the collapse of dense molecular cloud cores with a focus on the evolution of potential and kinetic energy, the degree o…
Statistical properties of supersonic turbulence in the Lagrangian and Eulerian frameworks
Lukas Konstandin, Christoph Federrath, Ralf S. Klessen +1
We present a systematic study of the influence of different forcing types on the statistical properties of supersonic, isothermal turbulence in both the Lagrangian and Eulerian fra…
Importance of the Initial Conditions for Star Formation - II. Fragmentation Induced Starvation and Accretion Shielding
Philipp Girichidis, Christoph Federrath, Robi Banerjee +1
We investigate the impact of different initial conditions for the initial density profile and the initial turbulence on the formation process of protostellar clusters. We study the…
MHD simulations of a supernova-driven ISM and the warm ionized medium using a positivity preserving ideal MHD scheme
Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Alex S. Hill, M. Ryan Joung +6
We present new 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of a supernova-driven, stratified interstellar medium. These simulations were run using the Waagan (2009) positivity preserv…
Magnetic fields in the first galaxies: Dynamo amplification and limits from reionization
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Jennifer Schober, Christoph Federrath +3
We discuss the amplification of magnetic fields by the small-scale dynamo, a process that could efficiently produce strong magnetic fields in the first galaxies. In addition, we de…
