Fragmentation of a nonisothermal protostellar cloud
Journal Article
·
· Icarus; (United States)
The collapse of a very low thermal energy, rotating cloud results in fragmentation to a binary protostellar system even in the nonisothermal regime. The solar system therefore probably did not form from a fragmentation hierarchy involving ejection of the presolar nebula from a multiple system. 12 references.
