Flow-Driven Formation of Molecular Clouds
... The Classical Problem of Star Formation: If all the molecular gas in the Galaxy collapsed on its free-fall time, the star formation rate would be ~20 times higher than observed. Traditional solution: Molecular clouds supported against collapse for many free-fall times by turbulence and/or magnetic ...

The Physics of Star Formation: Understanding the Youngest Protostars
... Over the past 20 years, a theoretical paradigm of low-mass star formation has emerged (e.g., Shu 1977; Terebey et al. 1984; Shu et al. 1987). This standard model has successfully interpreted the IR spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of young stellar objects (YSOs) as an evolutionary sequence from ...

Common Envelope Evolution Leading to Supernovae with Dense
... The suggested sequence of events leading to supernovae with dense environments is shown in Figure 1. The starting point is two massive stars in a binary. The more massive star evolves, transfers mass to its companion, and explodes as a supernova, leaving a neutron star (NS) or, less likely, a black ...

Estimating the Age of Supernova Remnants - Chandra X

As the ejected material expands outwards, it encounters and intermingles with the interstellar medium and propels it outward, building up the outer shock wa ...
