  2. Star Formation and Jet / Outflow Before the star formation Just after the star formation Jet /outflow driving phase ? Jet from protostar We cannot observe Molecular Cloud Core Hirano et al. (2006) (Nagoya Univ.) • Stars born in the molecular cloud core • Jet / Outflow always appearsin the star formation process • Jet / Outflow plays crucial roles in the star formation • They are closely related to the stellar mass • They transport the angular momentum from the cloud core ・・・・

  3. outflow jet protostellar disk Protostar outflow dark cloud protostar jet Protostellar Outflows and Jets • In star-forming regions, there are two distinct flows: Outflows and Jets ◆Molecular Outflow:low velocity (~10 km/s), wide opening angle ◆Optical Jet: high velocity (~100 km/s), well-collimated structure • Optical Jet is enclosed by Molecular Outflow • But, Mechanism is still unknown Purpose of This Study • Understanding the driving mechanism of Jets / Outflows • Using the numerical simulation, we calculated the cloud evolution from the molecular cloud (n=104 cm-3, r~104 AU)until the protostar (n~1020 cm-3, r ~ 1Rsun) formation HH30, Pety et al. 2006 Velusamy et al. 2007

  6. Ω L=4 Rotation Axis Magnetic Field Line Bonnor-Ebert Sphere B 4.6x104 AU Initial Settings Gas sphere in hydrostatic equilibrium • Critical Bonner-Ebert Sphere + Rotation + Magnetic Field • Magnetic field lines are parallel to the rotation axis: B//W • Parameters: α, ω • α=Bc2/(4prcs2) :magnetic field strength (ratio of the magnetic to thermal pressure) • w=W/(4pGr)1/2: angular velocity normalized by freefall timescale • Initial Value • Number density :n=104cm-3 • Temperature:T=10K • Cloud scale: 4.6x104AU • Mass: Mtot =14 Msun • (Bx,0, By,0, Bz,0) = (0, 0, (a4prcs2 )1/2) • (Wx,0, Wy,0, Wz,0) = (0, 0, w(4pGr)1/2 )

  7. L = 1 L = 2 L = 3 Numerical Methods • 3D Resistive MHD Nested Grid Method • Grid size: 128 x 128 x 64 (z-mirror sym.) • Grid level:lmax=31 (l: Grid Level) • Total grid number: 128 x 128 x 64 x 31For uniform grid, (128x2x1030)x(128x2x1030)x(64x2x1030) ~ (1030)3 cells are necessary • Grid generation: Jeans Condition 同時刻、異なるグリッドスケール At the same epoch but different spatial scales l=1: Lbox = 4 pc, n = 103 cm-3(initial)l=31: Lbox = 0.2 Rsun, n = 1023 cm-3 (final) 10 orders of magnitude in spatial scale 20 orders of magnitude in density contrast Example of Nested Grid Schematic view of Nested Grid L = 31 L=4

  8. Initial State Isothermal Collapse First Core Formation Adiabatic Collapse Outflow Driving Magnetic Dissipation Second Collapse Protostar & Jet Cloud Evolution from Molecular Cloud to Protostar nc=104 cm-3 nc=109 cm-3 nc=1011 cm-3 nc=1013 cm-3 nc=1021 cm-3 nc=1017 cm-3 nc=1022 cm-3 nc=1015 cm-3

  9. Dissipation by the Ohmic Dissipation Grid level L=14 (Side on view) Magnetic flux against the central density Ideal MHD model 100 AU Resistive MHD model • Magnetic flux is largely removed from the first core for 1012-1016 cm-3 Evolution of the Magnetic field at center of the cloud • n= ~5x1011 cm-3:First core formation, B field begins to be twisted • 1011 cm-3 <n< 1013 cm-3: B field strongly twisted, outflow appears • 1013 cm-3 <n< 1016 cm-3: B Field is dissipated by the Ohmic dissipation (Br, Bf) ⇒ The magnetic field lines are uncoiled (Bz becomes major component) • 1016 cm-3 <n< 1020 cm-3 : Second collapse, B is coupled with the neutral gas, amplified again • n>1020 cm-3: Protostar formation, Br, Bfincrease again

  10. Outflow and Jet Driving Phase High-velocity flow from Protostar Low-velocity Flow from First core Two distinct flows appear in the collapsing cloud!! ~1000 timesclose-upof the central area 360 AU 0.35 AU L=22 voutflow~ 5 km/s L=12 vJet~50 km/s • First Core:n~1011 cm-3, r~10-100 AU • Protostar:n~1021 cm-3, r~0.01 AU

  11. Driving Phase of Each Flow 1000 times close-up 103-105 yr • Adiabatic core (first and protostarcore) formation ⇒ trot < tcollapse ⇒ Magnetic field lines are twisted ⇒Flow driving • Each core has different scale and different magnetic field strength • First Core does not experience the Ohmic dissipation: Strong field, hourglass • Protostar experiences the Ohmic dissipation: Weak field, straight lines

  12. B gradient Disk Wind Weak B Strong B Wide Opening Angle Narrow Opening Angle Collimation • Different degrees of the collimation are caused by different driving mechanisms Driving Mechanism Forces Around First Core (Outflow)Lorenz≒ Centrifugal ≒Thermal Pressure (inflow) Around Protostar (Jet)Centrifugal ≒ Thermal Pressure >> Lorentz(inflow) Magnetocentrifugal wind ⇒ First core, Outflow Magnetic pressure gradient wind+MRI⇒ Protostar, Jet First Core Protostar ・Strong B・flow along B lines・hourglass B ・weak B・Flow along rotation axis・straight B b>1000 b~1-10

  13. Flow Speed • Flow speed is determined by gravitational potential of each core (Kepler speed) • First core: ~0.01 Msun, ~1 AU ⇒ vKep~ 5 km/s ⇔ vmax= 5 km/s (simulation) • Protostar: ~0.01 Msun, ~1 Rsun ⇒ vKep~50 km/s ⇔ vmax= 50 km/s (simulation) • We calculated the very early phase of the star formation • Flow speeds increases with core mass • The Kepler speed is proportional to ∝M1/2 • When the first core and protostar grow up to ~1Msun • Outflow ⇒ vKep~ 50 km/s • Jet ⇒ vKep~500 km/s Proto star First core 20 AU

  14. Properties of Outflow and Jet • Our simulation could naturally reproduce properties of outflows and jets • Low-velocity outflow is enclosed by the high-velocity Jet Schematic View

  15. Summary • To avoid artificial settings around the protostar, we calculated the cloud evolution (or jet driving) from the molecular cloud (n=104 cm-3) until the protostar formation (n~1023 cm-3) • Outflow is directly driven from the first core (not entrainmented by jet) • Two distinct flows: Outflow from the first core, Jet from the protostar • Outflow: wide opening angle and slow speed • Jet: well-collimated structure and high speed • The differences between outflow and jet is caused by different strength of magnetic field, and different depth of gravitational potential • Different strength of magnetic field is caused by the Ohmic dissipation • Deferent depth of the gravitational potential is cause by the thermal evolution of the collapsing cloud
