Evolution of Rotating Molecular Cloud Core with Oblique Magnetic Field

Abstract: We studied the collapse of rotating molecular cloud cores with inclined magnetic fields, based on three-dimensional numerical simulations. The numerical simulations start from a rotating Bonnor-Ebert isothermal cloud in a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field is initially taken to be inclined from the rotation axis. As the cloud collapses, the magnetic field and rotation axis change their directions. When the rotation is slow and the magnetic field is relatively strong, the direction of the rotation axis … Show more

“…The magnetic field lines are wound up by the rotation of the axes oriented perpendicular to the field. A similar magnetic field morphology was reported by Machida et al (2006) for inclined rotators (see their Figure 13). However, they did not confirm this type of outflow in their simulations because they could not follow the evolution for a sufficiently long period.…”

“…On the other hand, simulations carried out to date on the formation of the Larson first core (Larson 1969) have taken account of rotation and magnetic fields but not turbulence, both for aligned rotators (Tomisaka 2002;Machida et al 2004;Banerjee & Pudritz 2006;Commerçon et al 2010;Tomida et al 2010) and inclined rotators Machida et al 2006;Hennebelle & Ciardi 2009). In these studies, the rotation speed and rotation axis are explicitly assumed as initial conditions, and the origin of the rotation has not been addressed.…”

Since we assume rapid (slow) rotation for strongly (weakly) magnetized clouds in this paper, the angular velocities tend to converge to the unique scaling law as the collapse proceeds.…”
