The role of ambipolar diffusion in the formation of interstellar cloud cores and protostars
… a fundamental unsolved problem in astrophysics. Interstellar molecular clouds, observed to be the birth place of stars, have masses much larger than those of typical stars. Observed densities, temperatures, and strengths of well-ordered magnetic fields imply that magnetic forces, transmitted to …

The Role of MHD Waves and Ambipolar Diffusion in the Formation of Interstellar Cloud Cores and Protostars
How stars form out of their parent molecular clouds remains an unsolved fundamental problem of theoretical astrophysics. Magnetic fields are the dominant means of support against self-gravity and, therefore, important in regulating the rate at which stars form. We formulate the problem of the …

The role of magnetic braking and ambipolar diffusion in the formation of interstellar cloud cores and protostars
The means by which parent molecular clouds give birth to stars constitutes a fundamental unsolved problem in astrophysics. Magnetic fields, which dominate thermal-pressure as a source of support against self-gravity in interstellar molecular clouds, are an important regulator of star-formation. We …
