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…

On the origin of V-shaped polarisation spectra in molecular clouds
Daniel Seifried, Stefanie Walch, Thorsten Balduin
We extend previous theoretical works to gain a better understanding of the origin of observed polarisation degree spectra of molecular clouds, which show a so-called V-shape, i.e.…

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…
