A binary star formation mechanism through the fragmentation of prolate dense cores rotating end over end
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 August 2017
Abstract
I propose and briefly elaborate on a major new mechanism for the formation of wide, low-mass binary stars: the fragmentation of a collapsing, initially elongated dense molecular core rotating end over end. This initial structure will develop into two independent gravitationally bound stellar condensations orbiting each other in a rather eccentric orbit.
