| Resumo | |
The formation of massive stars is a longstanding problem. Although a number of theories of massive star formation exist, ideas appear to converge to a disc-mediated accretion scenario. Here, we present radiative hydrodynamic simulations of a star-accreting mass via a disc embedded in a torus, We use a Monte Carlo based radiation hydrodynamics code to investigate the impaci that ionizing radiation has on the torus. Ionized regions in the torus midplane are found to be either gravitationally trapped or in pressure-driven expansion depending On whether or not. the size of the ionized region exceeds a critical radius, Trapped Fin regions in the torus plane allow accretion to progress, while expanding H u regions disrupt the accretion torus preventing the central star from aggregating more mass, thereby setting the star's tinal mass. We obtain constraints for the luminosities and torus densities that lead to both scenarios. (AU) | |
