Modeling of molecular clouds with formation of prestellar cores

摘要: We develop a statistical approach for description of dense structures (cores) in molecular clouds that might be progenitors stars. Our basic assumptions are core mass-density relationship and power-law density distribution these objects as testified by numerical simulations observations. The mass function (CMF) was derived its slope the high-mass regime obtained analytically. Comparisons with observational CMFs several Galactic briefly presented.
