On the effects of rotation during the formation of population III protostars    [PDF]

Jayanta Dutta, Paul C. Clark, Ralf S. Klessen
It has been suggested that turbulent motions are responsible for the transport of angular momentum during the formation of Population III stars, however the exact details of this process have never been studied. We report the results from three dimensional SPH simulations of a rotating self-gravitating primordial molecular cloud, in which the initial velocity of solid-body rotation has been changed. We also examine the build-up of the discs that form in these idealized calculations.
