Star Formation Induced by Supersonic Turbulence
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Extract
Supersonic turbulent motion of gas plays a significant role in the dynamics and physics of a cosmic gas cloud. One of the most important effects of the supersonic turbulence is a strong compression of the gas by shock waves, that may trigger the gravitational instability of the shock-compressed layer leading to the formation of stars.
