Evolution of filamentary molecular clouds in the presence of magnetic fields TEXT SIZE: A A A

Molecular clouds can coalesce and collapse into stars. In this process, mutual gravitational attraction and pressure between particles in the cloud play a dominate role, but magnetic fields in the clouds can also influence the dynamics of the collapse. This article explores the way that magnetic fields affect dynamics that occur in molecular clouds, helping astronomers better understand this phenomenon.
