Binary Star Formation

很明显，在最年轻的恒星中， 系统是非常普遍的。 这表明，在这一过程中， 坍缩形成恒星，分子云碎裂。 崩溃 过程将使用一个新的三维流体力学建模 代码. 一系列可能的分子云核将被研究 以确定哪些参数有利于碎片化。 演变 的碎片将被跟踪，以确定哪些幸存下来， 二进制对象 最后，模型的外观将 与疑似双星的观测结果相比。

It is becoming apparent that among the youngest stars, multiple systems are very common. This suggests that in the process of collapsing to form stars, molecular clouds fragment. The collapse process will be modeled using a new three dimensional hydrodynamics code. A range of possible molecular cloud cores will be studied to determine what parameters favor fragmentation. The evolution of the fragments will be followed to determine which survive as binary objects. Finally, the appearance of the models will be compared with observations of suspected binary protostars.
