Filamentary Structure

Filamentary Structure is a morphological feature in the interstellar medium characterized by elongated, thread-like configurations of gas and dust that emerge from gravitational instabilities and turbulence in star-forming regions, serving as privileged sites for the formation of dense cores and protostellar systems within the large-scale structure of molecular clouds.
