On the effects of rotation in primordial star-forming clouds
@article{Dutta2015OnTE, title={On the effects of rotation in primordial star-forming clouds}, author={Jayanta Dutta}, journal={arXiv: Astrophysics of Galaxies}, year={2015} }
The thermodynamical evolution of gas during the collapse of the primordial star-forming cloud depends significantly on the initial degree of rotation. However, there is no clear understanding of how the initial rotation can affect the heating and cooling process and hence the temperature that leads to the fragmentation of the gas during Population III star formation. We report the results from three\hbox{-}dimensional, smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of a rotating self…
