Computer simulation of gas flowing around a binary system of protostars, with gas flows of different colors and a magnetic field that helps remove angular momentum

Magnetic fields may explain how binary star systems form

  • No comments
Supercomputer simulations show that magnetic fields can subtract angular momentum from gas surrounding pairs of protostars, bringing them closer together and allowing the formation of a stable binary system. A similar mechanism may
