<strong>Star</strong> <strong>Formation</strong> <strong>with</strong> AMR <strong>Simulations</strong><br />

Summary<br />

Numerical simulations help to understand the star<br />

formation process<br />

Chemistry/Cooling important<br />

Magnetically driven outflows and jets from<br />

protstellar disk<br />

Magnetic fields reduce/prevent fragmentation<br />

Turbulence plays an important role (stucture of<br />

cloud cores, accretion rates)<br />

No stage of hydrostatic cores in a turbulent<br />

environment: assembly of protostars is a very rapid<br />

process<br />
