Magnetic field amplification in accretion discs around the first stars: implications for the primordial IMF

Magnetic field amplification in accretion discs around the first stars: implications for the primordial IMF

Magnetic fields play an important role in the dynamics of present-day molecular clouds. Recent work has shown that magnetic fields are equally important for primordial clouds, which form the first stars in the Universe. While the primordial magnetic field strength on cosmic scales is largely unconstrained, theoretical models strongly suggest …
