The Initial Core Mass Function due to Ambipolar Diffusion in Molecular Clouds
Matthew W. Kunz, Telemachos Ch. Mouschovias
We show that the ambipolar-diffusion--initiated fragmentation of molecular clouds leads simply and naturally to an initial core mass function (CMF) which is very similar to the ini…

Formation of Interstellar Clouds: Parker Instability with Phase Transitions
Telemachos Ch. Mouschovias, Matthew W. Kunz, Duncan A. Christie
We follow numerically the nonlinear evolution of the Parker instability in the presence of phase transitions from a warm to a cold HI interstellar medium in two spatial dimensions.…
