Competitive Accretion

Competitive Accretion is a theoretical model of clustered star formation in which protostars of varying initial masses differentially accrete surrounding gas due to gravitational interactions within a common reservoir, leading to the growth of more massive stars at the expense of their less massive neighbors.
