On the Star Formation Efficiency of Turbulent Magnetized Clouds
Christoph Federrath, Ralf S. Klessen
We study the star formation efficiency (SFE) in simulations and observations of turbulent, magnetized, molecular clouds. We find that the probability density functions (PDFs) of th…
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…
The Star Formation Rate of Turbulent Magnetized Clouds: Comparing Theory, Simulations, and Observations
Christoph Federrath, Ralf S. Klessen
We derive and compare six theoretical models for the star formation rate (SFR) - the Krumholz & McKee (KM), Padoan & Nordlund (PN), and Hennebelle & Chabrier (HC) models, and three…
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…
