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…

Angular momentum distribution during the collapse of primordial star-forming clouds
It is generally believed that angular momentum is distributed during the gravitational collapse of the primordial star forming cloud. However, so far there has been little understanding of the exact
