Filament Formation via Collision-induced Magnetic Reconnection -- Formation of a Star Cluster
Shuo Kong, David Whitworth, Rowan J. Smith +1
A collision-induced magnetic reconnection (CMR) mechanism was recently proposed to explain the formation of a filament in the Orion A molecular cloud. In this mechanism, a collisio…
