Magnetic processes in a collapsing dense core. II Fragmentation. Is there a fragmentation crisis ?

P. Hennebelle,
R. Teyssier

Abstract: Context. A large fraction of stars are found in binary systems. It is therefore important for our understanding of the star formation process, to investigate the fragmentation of dense molecular cores. Aims. We study the influence of the magnetic field, ideally coupled to the gas, on the fragmentation in multiple systems of collapsing cores. Methods. We present high resolution numerical simulations performed with the RAMSES MHD code starting with a uniform sphere in solid body rotation and a uniform magnetic f… Show more

“…Namely, the magnetic field suppresses fragmentation, while the rotation promotes fragmentation. This effect of the magnetic field and rotation on fragmentation is similar to that in present-day star formation (Hosking & Whitworth 2004;Machida et al 2004Machida et al , 2005bMachida et al , 2007cPrice & Bate 2007;Hennebelle & Teyssier 2007). Firstly, to investigate the effect of rotation on fragmentation, we focus on models displayed in the fourth column in Figure 4 (models 4, 10, 16, 22, 28, and 34).…”
