The influence of magnetic fields on the thermodynamics of primordial star formation

DRG Schleicher, D Galli, SCO Glover… - The Astrophysical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We explore the effects of magnetic energy dissipation on the formation of the first stars. For
this purpose, we follow the evolution of primordial chemistry in the presence of magnetic …

DRG Schleicher - 2009 - archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de
The goal of this work is to better understand the universe between recombination and
reionization and to outline new possibilities to explore it in more detail. This concerns the …

Origin of Magnetic Fields and the First Objects

R Opher - AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005 - pubs.aip.org
Magnetic fields are important in star formation at low redshifts. Thus, we may assume that
primordial magnetic fields were important in the formation of the first objects. We discuss our …
