Evolution of compressed clouds formed by filament coalescence. I. Oblique collisions
Raiga Kashiwagi, Kazunari Iwasaki, Kohji Tomisaka +1
Stars are thought to form predominantly within filamentary molecular clouds. Recent studies have suggested that active star formation, including the formation of stellar clusters a…

Hub Formation and Filament-Filament Collision: An Analytical Model
Kohji Tomisaka, Raiga Kashiwagi, Kazunari Iwasaki
Filaments are ubiquitous throughout the Galaxy. Massive star formation is often observed in hub-filament systems, where multiple filaments appear to be interconnected and merging.…

Instability and Evolution of Shocked Clouds Formed by Orthogonal Collisions between Magnetized Filamentary Molecular Clouds
Raiga Kashiwagi, Kazunari Iwasaki, Kohji Tomisaka
Filamentary molecular clouds are recognized as primary sites for the formation of stars. Specifically, regions characterized by the overlapping point of multiple filaments, known a…
