Star-forming environments in smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics simulations II: Re-simulating isolated clumps to determine equivalence of extracted clumps and parent simulations
James Wurster, Connar Rowan
What is the numerical reproducibility of a stellar system (including its discs) when evolving only a sub-set of (partially-evolved) smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) particles?…
On the origin of magnetic fields in stars II: The effect of numerical resolution
James Wurster, Matthew R. Bate, Daniel J. Price +1
Are the kG-strength magnetic fields observed in young stars a fossil field left over from their formation or are they generated by a dynamo? Our previous numerical study concluded…
Do we need non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics to model protostellar discs?
James Wurster
We investigate and discuss protostellar discs in terms of where the various non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) processes are important. We find that the traditional picture of a…
Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics vs turbulence II: Which is the dominant process in stellar core formation?
James Wurster, Benjamin T. Lewis
Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the dominant process. We investigate the effect of magnetic fields (ideal and non-ideal) and turbulence (sub- and transsonic) on the formati…

There is no magnetic braking catastrophe: Low-mass star cluster and protostellar disc formation with non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics
James Wurster, Matthew R. Bate, Daniel J. Price
We present results from the first radiation non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations of low-mass star cluster formation that resolve the fragmentation process down to the o…
