Protostellar Core Collapse

Protostellar Core Collapse is a theoretical model within the study of star formation that describes the gravitational contraction of a dense molecular cloud core into a protostar, distinguished by the interplay of angular momentum transport, magnetic fields, and hydrodynamic instabilities during the early phases of stellar birth.
