abstract = {Context. Ideal magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations have
revealed catastrophic magnetic braking in the protostellar
phase, which prevents the formation of a centrifugal disk
around a nascent protostar. Aims. We determine if non-ideal
MHD, including the effects of ambipolar diffusion and Ohmic
dissipation determined from a detailed chemical network
model, will allow for disk formation at the earliest stages
of star formation. Methods. We employ the axisymmetric
thin-disk approximation in order to resolve a dynamic range
of 9 orders of magnitude in length and 16 orders of
magnitude in density, while also calculating partial
ionization using up to 19 species in a detailed chemical
equilibrium model. Magnetic braking is applied to the
rotation using a steady-state approximation, and a
barotropic relation is used to capture the thermal
evolution. Results. We resolve the formation of the first
and second cores, with expansion waves at the periphery of
each, a magnetic diffusion shock, and prestellar infall
profiles at larger radii. Power-law profiles in each region
can be understood analytically. After the formation of the
second core, the centrifugal support rises rapidly and a
low-mass disk of radius approximately $10 R_sun$ is formed
at the earliest stage of star formation, when the second
core has mass of about $0.001 M_sun.$ The mass-to-flux
ratio is about 10,000 times the critical value in the
central region. Conclusions. A small centrifugal disk can
form in the earliest stage of star formation, due to a
shut-off of magnetic braking caused by magnetic field
dissipation in the first core region. There is enough
angular momentum loss to allow the second collapse to occur
directly, and a low-mass stellar core to form with a
surrounding disk. The disk mass and size will depend upon
how the angular momentum transport mechanisms within the
disk can keep up with mass infall onto the disk. Accounting
only for direct infall, we estimate that the disk will
remain $\lessim$ 10 AU, undetectable even by ALMA, for
approximately 40,000 yr, representing the early Class 0
phase.},
