Triggering and the gravitational instability in shells and supershells
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2006
Abstract
The gravitational instability of shells and supershells and its relevance to the triggering of the star formation in a turbulent ISM is discussed. The IMF of the self-gravitating clumps formed out of shells is computed and triggering time is compared with the shell dissolution time due to chaotic motions.
