Scientific paper

The distribution and transport of angular momentum in a self-gravitating accretion disk formed during the collapse of a rotating gas cloud has been studied. Using the surface density for the low-viscosity models and minimum-mass models presented by Cassen and Summers (1983), Poisson's equation is solved explicitly to determine the effects of self-gravitation of the protostellar disk. Analytic expressions for the angular momentum of the central star and other relevant quantities of interest during the formation stage are presented.
