The breakdown of flux-freezing in molecular clouds and protostellar discs is usually approximated by ambipolar diffusion at low densities or by resistive diffusion at high densities. Here an intermediate regime is discussed in which the Hall term in the conductivity tensor is significant, and the vector evolution of the magnetic field, and therefore the evolution of the system under consideration is dramatically altered. Calculations of charged particle abundances in dense gas in molecular clouds and protostellar discs demonstrate that Hall diffusion is important over a surprisingly broad range of conditions. 相似文献

Magnetic fields likely play a key role in the dynamics and evolution of protoplanetary disks. They have the potential to efficiently
transport angular momentum by MHD turbulence or via the magnetocentrifugal acceleration of outflows from the disk surface.
Magnetically-driven mixing has implications for disk chemistry and evolution of the grain population, and the effective viscous
response of the disk determines whether planets migrate inwards or outwards. However, the weak ionisation of protoplanetary
disks means that magnetic fields may not be able to effectively couple to the matter. I examine the magnetic diffusivity in
a minimum solar nebula model and present calculations of the ionisation equilibrium and magnetic diffusivity as a function
of height from the disk midplane at radii of 1 and 5 AU. Dust grains tend to suppress magnetic coupling by soaking up electrons
and ions from the gas phase and reducing the conductivity of the gas by many orders of magnitude. However, once grains have
grown to a few microns in size their effect starts to wane and magnetic fields can begin to couple to the gas even at the
disk midplane. Because ions are generally decoupled from the magnetic field by neutral collisions while electrons are not,
the Hall effect tends to dominate the diffusion of the magnetic field when it is able to partially couple to the gas, except
at the disk surfaces where the low density of neutrals permits the ions to remain attached to the field lines. For a standard
population of 0.1 μm grains the active surface layers have a combined column Σactive≈2 g cm−2 at 1 AU; by the time grains have aggregated to 3 μm, Σactive≈80 g cm−2. Ionisation in the active layers is dominated by stellar X-rays. In the absence of grains, X-rays maintain magnetic coupling
to 10% of the disk material at 1 AU (i.e. Σactive≈150 g cm−2). At 5 AU the Σactive≈Σtotal once grains have aggregated to 1 μm in size. 相似文献

We consider the thermal properties of cold, dense clouds of molecular hydrogen and atomic helium. For cloud masses below 10-1.7 M middle dot in circle, the internal pressure is sufficient to permit the existence of particles of solid or liquid hydrogen at temperatures above the cosmic microwave background temperature. Optically thin thermal continuum emission by these particles can balance cosmic-ray heating of the cloud, leading to equilibria that are thermally stable even though the heating rate is independent of cloud temperature. For the Galaxy, the known heating rate in the disk sets a minimum mass of order 10-6 M middle dot in circle necessary for survival. Clouds of this type may in principle comprise most of the dark matter in the Galactic halo. However, we caution that the equilibria do not exist at redshifts z greater, similar1 when the temperature of the microwave background was substantially larger than its current value; therefore, the formation and the survival of such clouds to the present epoch remain open questions. 相似文献
