The big problems in star formation: the star formation rate, stellar clustering, and the initial mass function
MR Krumholz - Physics Reports, 2014 - Elsevier
Star formation lies at the center of a web of processes that drive cosmic evolution:
generation of radiant energy, synthesis of elements, formation of planets, and development …

On the diversity and statistical properties of protostellar discs
MR Bate - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We present results from the first population synthesis study of protostellar discs. We analyse
the evolution and properties of a large sample of protostellar discs formed in a radiation …

Magneto-thermal disk winds from protoplanetary disks
The global evolution and dispersal of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are governed by disk
angular-momentum transport and mass-loss processes. Recent numerical studies suggest …

Radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of protostellar collapse: nonideal magnetohydrodynamic effects and early formation of circumstellar disks
The transport of angular momentum by magnetic fields is a crucial physical process in the
formation and evolution of stars and disks. Because the ionization degree in star-forming …

Dust coagulation during the early stages of star formation: molecular cloud collapse and first hydrostatic core evolution
MR Bate - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Planet formation in protoplanetary discs requires dust grains to coagulate from the sub-
micron sizes that are found in the interstellar medium into much larger objects. For the first …

Can non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics solve the magnetic braking catastrophe?
We investigate whether or not the low ionization fractions in molecular cloud cores can solve
the 'magnetic braking catastrophe', where magnetic fields prevent the formation of …
