Rapid magnetic flux variability on the flare star CN Leonis
We present UVES/VLT observations of the nearby flare star CN Leo covering the Wing-Ford FeH band near 1 μm with high spectral resolution. Some of the FeH absorption lines in this band are magnetically sensitive and allow a measurement of the mean magnetic flux on CN Leo. Our observations, covering three nights separated by 48 hours each, allow a clear detection of a mean magnetic field of B f ≈...
متن کاملDissipation of Magnetic Flux in Primordial Star Formation: From Run-away Phase to Mass Accretion Phase
We investigate the dissipation of magnetic flux in primordial star-forming clouds throughout their collapse including the run-away collapse phase as well as the accretion phase. We solve the energy equation and the non-equilibrium chemical reactions in the collapsing gas, in order to obtain the radial distribution of the ionized fraction during the collapse. As a result, we find the ionized fra...
متن کاملThe effect of magnetic fields on star cluster formation
We examine the effect of magnetic fields on star cluster formation by performing simulations following the self-gravitating collapse of a turbulent molecular cloud to form stars in ideal MHD. The collapse of the cloud is computed for global mass-to-flux ratios of ∞, 20, 10, 5 and 3, that is using both weak and strong magnetic fields. Whilst even at very low strengths the magnetic field is able ...
متن کاملMagnetic Effects in Global Star Formation
I review the effects of magnetic fields on star formation in galaxies. This includes the effects of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) at galactic scales, magneto-Jeans and swing instabilities, Parker instabilities, and the effects of magnetic fields on the evolution of supernova-driven turbulence. I argue that currently turbulent support by the MRI appears likely to be the most important ...
متن کاملThe diffuse supernova neutrino flux, star formation rate and SN1987A
I calculate the diffuse flux of electron antineutrinos from all supernovae by imposing compatibility with the SN1987A neutrino data and with the existing constraints on the cosmological rate of core collapse supernovae. For the latter I use observational results on the cosmological star formation rate, taking into account the error on the ratio of the supernova rate and star formation rate. The...
