Protostellar Disk Dynamos and Hydromagnetic Outflows in Primordial Star Formation
Protostellar Disk Dynamos and Hydromagnetic Outflows in Primordial Star Formation
Are magnetic fields important in primordial star formation? Assuming that star formation occurs via an accretion disk that is turbulent, initially because of local gravitational instability, we calculate the disk structure for realistic accretion rates. We predict that local gravitational viscosity is able to drive accretion, without the disk fragmenting. …
