Angular Momentum Redistribution in Dynamical Collapse In outflows driven by magnetic fields: –The angular momentum is transferred effectively from the disk to the outflow. –If 10 % of inflowing mass is outflowed with having 99.9% of angular momentum, j * would be reduced to 10 -3 j cl.

Shu’s Inside-out Solution Larson-Penston Solution What we have done. Dynamical contraction of slowly rotating magnetized clouds is studied by ideal MHD numerical simulations with cylindrical symmetry with nested grid. (cf. AMR) Evolution : –Isothermal Run-away Collapse Phase –Adiabatic Accretion Phase Nested Grid Method

Angular Momentum OUTFLOW is formed just outside the 1st molecular core. Angular momentum is effectively transported by the outflow motion and the gas with less angular momentum falls into the core.

Accretion Phase (II) Collapse time-scale in the adiabatic core becomes much longer than the infall time. Inflowing gas accretes on to the nearly static core, which grows to a star. Outflow emerges in this phase. Outflow

In weakly ionized plasma, neutral molecules have only indirect coupling with the B-fields through ionized ions. Neutral-ion collision time When, ambipolar diffusion is important. Assuming (on core formation), rotation period of centrifugal radius: Ambipolar Diffusion?
36
Summary In dynamically collapsing clouds, the outflow emerges just after the core formation ( yr). In the accretion phase, the centrifugal wind mechanism & magnetic pressure force work efficiently. In 7000 yr ( ), the outflow reaches 2000 AU. Maximum speed reaches
37
Summary(2) In the process, the angular momentum is transferred from the disk to the outflow and the outflow brings the excess j. This solves the angular momentum problem of new-born stars. The 2nd outflow outside the 2nd (atomic) core explains optical jets.
