| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we have studied star formation processes focusing on their universality and diversity. Starting from the formation of molecular clouds which are the initial conditions of star formation processes, we have investigated the processes from the first principle as much as possible. We have revealed that formed molecular clouds and dense molecular cloud cores have universal properties regardless of initial conditions. Our results indicate that the universal properties of stars such as the initial mass function is already imprinted in molecular clouds. We also performed long-term simulations of protoplanetary disk formation, and showed that the disk tends to be massive. This indicates that planet formation is already possible in the early phase of star formation.
We have developed the Athena++ MHD simulation code in international collaboration. This code is publicly distributed online and includes various physical processes needed for this project such as MHD and self-gravity.
