Formation of protostars and the launching of stellar core outflows with moving-mesh radiation non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics
Alexander C. Mayer, Rüdiger Pakmor, Thorsten Naab +5
We present an implementation of radiative transfer with flux-limited diffusion (FLD) for the moving-mesh code {\small AREPO} and use the method in a physical model for the formatio…

Protostellar disks in their natural habitat -- the formation of protostars and their accretion disks in the turbulent and magnetized interstellar medium
Alexander C. Mayer, Thorsten Naab, Paola Caselli +6
We present simulations of the supernova-driven turbulent interstellar medium (ISM) in a simulation domain of volume within which we resolve the formation of pro…

Moving-mesh non-ideal magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the collapse of cloud cores to protostars
Alexander C. Mayer, Oliver Zier, Thorsten Naab +5
Magnetic fields have been shown both observationally and through theoretical work to be an important factor in the formation of protostars and their accretion disks. Accurate model…
