How about a rotating magnetized cloud?
1. In case with B and , a contracting disk is made in the
runaway collapse phase. As a consequence,
(a) A flat first core is born.
(b) Outflow is driven by the effect of twisted B-field and a
rotating disk.
(c) B-field transfers the angular momentum from the
contracting disk to the envelope.
2. Star formation process is controlled by the rotation speed
of the first core.
Evolution is classified into three types.
(a) A slow rotator evolves similarly to the B==0 cloud.
(b) An intermediate rotator forms a bar and spiral arms,
which transfer the angular momentum from the center.
Owing to this, collapse proceeds.
(c) A bar or spiral arms of fast rotator finally fragments.
This leads to the binary formation.

(1)Just after the central
density exceeds rA
(first core formation),
outflow begins to blow.
(2) In this case, gas is
accelerated by the
magnetocentrifugal wind
mechanism.
(3) 10% of gas in mass
is ejected with almost all
the angular momentum.
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 jcl.

Mass and simultaneous angular momentum
accretions drives an evolution like this:
Three models have the same central density rc=4rdiss, but different
angular momenta as 2.25 × 1049 (left), 4.18 × 1049 (middle),
and 9.99 × 1049 g cm2 (right), and masses as 2.77 × 1031 (left),
3.45 × 1031 (middle), and 4.97 × 1031 g (right).
Mass-Density Relation ( = 0 )
Below
r < rdis,
mass increases with central density r.c
rdis = 5 108 gcm3
– Mass is prop. to Jeans mass
MJ  T

(Chandrasekhar 1949)
– Mass accretion drives the core
from lower-left to upper-right.
Above r  a few rdis mass
decreases due to soft EOS.
– Further accretion destabilizes
the cloud and drives dynamical contraction (2nd collapse).
 Maximum mass of the 1st core is 0.01 M8.

Non-rotating model
1. Unless the cloud is
much more massive
than the B-E mass, the
first core evolves to
follow a path expected
by quasi-hydrostatic
evolution.
2. Maximum mass of a first
core is small ~0.01M8.
3. Quasi-static evolution
gives a good agreement
with HD result.

Nonaxisymmetric instability
Rotational-to-gravitational energy
ratio: T/|W|
– A polytropic disk with T/|W|>0.27
(g=5/3) is dynamically unstable under a
wide range of conditions (g=5/3:
Pickett et al. 1996; g=7/5, 9/5, 5/3
Imamura et al. 2000 )
rdis = 5 108 gcm3
w = 0.03
0.1
0.05
T/|W| increases with mass
accretion.
After T/|W| exceeds the critical
value,
– nonaxisymmetric instability grows.
– Angular momentum is transferred
outwardly.
– This may stabilize the disk again.
Fragmentation
In a fast rotating cloud,
fragmentation (more
than 2 fragments) is
observed in the 1st
core.
This occurs after nonaxisymmetric
instability is triggered.

Summary
The evolution of a 1st core is well described with the
quasi-static evolution.
Slow (or no) rotation model exhibits the second collapse
(w<0.015).
– Maximum mass of the 1st core ~0.02 M8 (w=0.015).
Rotating cloud with w>0.015, the 1st core contracts
slowly.
– After T/|W|>0.27, a dynamical nonaxisymmetric instability grows
and spiral pattern appears.
– Gravitational torque transfers the angular momentum outwardly.
– The 1st core contracts further.
In a rotating cloud with w>0.1, we found fragmentation of
the 1st core.
