Gravitational Collapse and Star Formation in Logotropic and Non-Isothermal Spheres
Dean E. McLaughlin, Ralph E. Pudritz
We present semi-analytical similarity solutions for the inside-out, expansion-wave collapse of initially virialized gas clouds with non-isothermal equations of state. Results are g…
Accretion Disks Around Class 0 Protostars: The Case of VLA 1623
R. E. Pudritz, C. D. Wilson, J. E. Carlstrom +3
Continuum emission at 220 and 355 GHz from the prototype Class 0 source VLA 1623 has been detected using the JCMT-CSO interferometer. Gaussian fits to the data place an upper limit…
A Model for the Internal Structure of Molecular Cloud Cores
Dean E. McLaughlin, Ralph E. Pudritz
We generalize the classic Bonnor-Ebert stability analysis of pressure-truncated, self-gravitating gas spheres, to include clouds with arbitrary equations of state. A virial-theorem…
