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…
Ambipolar diffusion and the molecular abundances in prestellar cores
Felix D. Priestley, James Wurster, Serena Viti
We investigate differences in the molecular abundances between magnetically super- and sub-critical prestellar cores, performing three-dimensional non-ideal magnetohydrodynamical (…
Resolving numerical star formation: A cautionary tale
James Wurster, Matthew R. Bate
Resolution studies of test problems set baselines and help define minimum resolution requirements, however, resolution studies must also be performed on scientific simulations to d…
Disc formation and fragmentation using radiative non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics
James Wurster, Matthew R. Bate
We investigate the formation and fragmentation of discs using a suite of three-dimensional smoothed particle radiative magnetohydrodynamics simulations. Our models are initialised…
