The Importance of the Magnetic Field from an SMA-CSO-Combined Sample of Star-Forming Regions
Patrick M. Koch, Ya-Wen Tang, Paul T. P. Ho +14
Submillimeter dust polarization measurements of a sample of 50 star-forming regions, observed with the SMA and the CSO covering pc-scale clouds to mpc-scale cores, are analyzed in…
The role of cosmic rays on magnetic field diffusion and the formation of protostellar discs
Marco Padovani, Daniele Galli, Patrick Hennebelle +2
The formation of protostellar discs is severely hampered by magnetic braking, as long as magnetic fields remain frozen in the gas. The latter condition depends on the levels of ion…
Magnetic Fields and Massive Star Formation
Qizhou Zhang, Keping Qiu, Josep M. Girart +17
Massive stars ( \msun) typically form in parsec-scale molecular clumps that collapse and fragment, leading to the birth of a cluster of stellar objects. We investigate the r…
