The essential steps in Star formation
Karim Salehi Moscow State U, Moscow, RU | |
Generally we can find the following essential steps in most star formation
proceeds: Step 1: initial collapse. The shock waves from supernovae explosions start collapsing under gravity into stars. Step 2: the cloud fragments into clumps that form individual stars. Step 3: The clumps collapse into a stars. When the gas gets sufficiently compressed that it is dense and hot enough that the pressure balances the gravitational force, and the collapse stops. | |
