Molecular Cloud Core Collapse

Molecular Cloud Core Collapse is a physical astrophysical process in protostellar evolution wherein a gravitationally unstable region within a molecular cloud undergoes contraction due to self-gravity, initiating the formation of a protostar by dissipating thermal and magnetic support mechanisms.
