Growth of Massive Molecular Cloud Filament by Accretion Flows I: Slow Shock Instability v.s. Ambipolar Diffusion

Daisei Abe, Tsuyoshi Inoue, Shu-ichiro Inutsuka

The Herschel Gould Belt Survey showed that stars form in dense filaments in nearby molecular clouds. Recent studies suggest that massive filaments are bound by the slow shocks caus…
