What cosmic ray ionisation rate is required such that a non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulation of a collapsing molecular cloud will follow the same evolutionary path as an ideal MHD simulation or as a purely hydrodynamics simulation? To investigate this question, we perform three-dimensional smoothed particle non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics simulations of the gravitational collapse of rotating, one solar mass, magnetised molecular cloud cores, that include Ohmic resistivity, ambipolar diffusion, and the Hall effect. We assume a uniform grain size of $a_text{g} = 0.1mu$m, and our free parameter is the cosmic ray ionisation rate, $zeta_text{cr}$. We evolve our models, where possible, until they have produced a first hydrostatic core. Models with $zeta_text{cr}gtrsim10^{-13}$ s$^{-1}$ are indistinguishable from ideal MHD models and the evolution of the model with $zeta_text{cr}=10^{-14}$ s$^{-1}$ matches the evolution of the ideal MHD model within one per cent when considering maximum density, magnetic energy, and maximum magnetic field strength as a function of time; these results are independent of $a_text{g}$. Models with very low ionisation rates ($zeta_text{cr}lesssim10^{-24}$ s$^{-1}$) are required to approach hydrodynamical collapse, and even lower ionisation rates may be required for larger $a_text{g}$. Thus, it is possible to reproduce ideal MHD and purely hydrodynamical collapses using non-ideal MHD given an appropriate cosmic ray ionisation rate. However, realistic cosmic ray ionisation rates approach neither limit, thus non-ideal MHD cannot be neglected in star formation simulations.
The physics of core-collapse (CC) supernovae (SNe) and how the explosions depend on progenitor properties are central questions in astronomy. For only a handful of SNe, the progenitor star has been identified in pre-explosion images. Supernova remnan
Massive stars die an explosive death as a core-collapse supernova (CCSN). The exact physical processes that cause the collapsing star to rebound into an explosion are not well-understood, and the key in resolving this issue may lie in the measurement
Several stars detected moving at velocities near to or exceeding the Galactic escape speed likely originated in the Milky Way disc. We quantitatively explore the `binary supernova scenario hypothesis, wherein these `hyper-runaway stars are ejected at
We study the spatial correlations between the H$alpha$ emission and different types of massive stars in two local galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Messier 33. We compare these to correlations derived for core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe)
We present the discovery and follow-up observations of two CCSNe that occurred in the luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG), NGC3256. The first, SN2018ec, was discovered using the ESO HAWK-I/GRAAL adaptive optics seeing enhancer, and was classified as a Ty
