The Formation and Evolution of Protostellar Disks; 3D AMR Hydro-Simulations of Collapsing, Rotating Bonnor-Ebert-Spheres

Robi Banerjee, Ralph E. Pudritz, Lindsay Holmes

We present a detailed study of the collapse of molecular cloud cores using high resolution 3D adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) numerical simulations. In this first in a series of inv…
