Protostellar birth with ambipolar and ohmic diffusion
Neil Vaytet, Benoît Commerçon, Jacques Masson +2
The transport of angular momentum is capital during the formation of low-mass stars; too little removal and rotation ensures stellar densities are never reached, too much and the a…
A chemical solver to compute molecule and grain abundances and non-ideal MHD resistivities in prestellar core collapse calculations
Pierre Marchand, Jacques Masson, Gilles Chabrier +3
We develop a detailed chemical network relevant to the conditions characteristic of prestellar core collapse. We solve the system of time-dependent differential equations to calcul…
The effect of ambipolar diffusion on low-density molecular ISM filaments
Evangelia Ntormousi, Patrick Hennebelle, Philippe André +1
The filamentary structure of the molecular interstellar medium and the potential link of this morphology to star formation have been brought into focus recently by high resolution…
Ambipolar diffusion in low-mass star formation. I. General comparison with the ideal MHD case
Jacques Masson, Gilles Chabrier, Patrick Hennebelle +2
In this paper, we provide a more accurate description of the evolution of the magnetic flux redistribution during prestellar core collapse by including resistive terms in the magne…
Multigroup radiation hydrodynamics with flux-limited diffusion and adaptive mesh refinement
Matthias González, Neil Vaytet, Benoît Commerçon +1
Radiative transfer plays a key role in the star formation process. Due to a high computational cost, radiation-hydrodynamics simulations performed up to now have mainly been carrie…
Simulations of protostellar collapse using multigroup radiation hydrodynamics. II. The second collapse
N. Vaytet, G. Chabrier, E. Audit +4
Star formation begins with the gravitational collapse of a dense core inside a molecular cloud. As the collapse progresses, the centre of the core begins to heat up as it becomes o…
