Molecular Line Profiles from Contracting Dense Cores
Steven W. Stahler, Jeffrey J. Yen
We recently proposed that molecular cloud dense cores undergo a prolonged period of quasi-static contraction prior to true collapse. This theory could explain the observation that…

The Approach to Collapse of Molecular Clouds
Steven W. Stahler, Jeffrey J. Yen
The dense molecular cloud cores that form stars, like other self-gravitating objects, undergo bulk oscillations. Just at the point of gravitational instability, their fundamental o…
