Gravitational collapse of magnetized clouds. I. Ideal MHD accretion flow
D. Galli, S. Lizano, F. H. Shu +1
We study the self-similar collapse of an isothermal magnetized rotating cloud in the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) regime. In the limit of small distance from the accreting proto…
Does Magnetic Levitation or Suspension Define the Masses of Forming Stars?
Frank H. Shu, Zhi-Yun Li, Anthony Allen
We investigate whether magnetic tension can define the masses of forming stars by holding up the subcritical envelope of a molecular cloud that suffers gravitational collapse of it…
Collapse of Magnetized Singular Isothermal Toroids: II. Rotation and Magnetic Braking
A. Allen, Z. Y. Li, F. H. Shu
We study numerically the collapse of rotating, magnetized molecular cloud cores, focusing on rotation and magnetic braking during the main accretion phase of isolated star formatio…
Collapse of Magnetized Singular Isothermal Toroids: I. Non-Rotating Case
A. Allen, F. H. Shu, Z. Y. Li
We study numerically the collapse of non-rotating, self-gravitating, magnetized, singular isothermal toroids characterized by sound speed, , and level of magnetic to thermal sup…
