High Velocity Oblique Cloud Collision and Star and Star Cluster Formation through Gravitational Instability of the Shock-Compressed Slab with Rotation and Velocity Shear

Masatoshi Usami, Tomoyuki Hanawa, Mitsuaki Fujimoto

We study the gravitational instability of an isothermal gaseous slab formed by cloud-cloud collision and compression at the cloud interface. The compressed gaseous slab rotates and…
