Collapse Timescales

Collapse Timescales is a theoretical construct in astrophysics that denotes the characteristic duration required for a self-gravitating molecular cloud or protostellar core to undergo gravitational collapse under its own gravity, distinguishing it from other dynamical timescales by specifically quantifying the free-fall or near-free-fall evolution toward hydrostatic equilibrium in star-forming regions.
