The Formation of Low Mass Stars: Theory

  • Chapter
The Physics of Star Formation and Early Stellar Evolution

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 342))

Abstract

We consider the interrelationships among the structure of molecular clouds; the collapse of rotating cloud cores; the formation of stars and disks; the origin of molecular outflows, protostellar winds, and highly collimated jets; the birth of single and binary stars; and the dynamics of star/disk/satellite interactions. Our discussion interweaves theory with the results of observations that span from millimeter wavelengths to X-rays.
