Non-Ideal MHD in Star Formation and the Treatment of the Hall Effect in Numerical Codes
Pierre Marchand OUTAP, Osaka, JP | |
| Non-ideal MHD heavily influences the dynamics of a dense core's collapse by redistributing the magnetic flux. Recent studies show that the Hall effect plays a significant role in the redistribution of the angular momentum, leading to a weakened or strengthened rotation and the apparition of counter-rotating envelopes. We discuss these points and the numerical treatment of the Hall effect. | |
