Dense core formation in supersonic turbulent converging flows
Hao Gong, Eve C. Ostriker
We use numerical hydrodynamic simulations to investigate prestellar core formation in the dynamic environment of giant molecular clouds, focusing on planar post-shock layers produc…

Protostar Formation in Supersonic Flows: Growth and Collapse of Spherical Cores
Hao Gong, Eve C. Ostriker
We present a unified model for molecular core formation and evolution, based on numerical simulations of converging, supersonic flows. Our model applies to star formation in GMCs d…
