Collapse of Magnetized, Rotating, Toroidal Clouds
Abstract
Models of molecular cloud cores have been proposed by Frank Shu and Zhi-Yun Li. These models have been used as initial states for magnetohydrodynamic collapse calculations to study the dynamics of the early stages of star formation. Implications about accretion rates outflows and angular momentum transport will be summarized. Synthetic maps and spectra generated from simulation data will be shown.
