Protostellar Initial Conditions

Protostellar Initial Conditions is a theoretical construct in astrophysics that specifies the physical and chemical starting parameters—such as mass, temperature, density, and angular momentum—of a collapsing molecular cloud core from which a protostar forms, distinguishing it from subsequent evolutionary states by representing the initial boundary conditions for star formation models.
