Physical Processes in Fragmentation and Star Formation [E-Book] : Proceedings of the Workshop on ‘Physical Processes in Fragmentation and Star Formation’, Held in Monteporzio Catone (Rome), Italy, June 5–11, 1989 / edited by Roberto Capuzzo-Dolcetta, Cesare Chiosi, Alberto di Fazio.
Recent years have witnessed the expansion and multiplication of the observations of star formation and fragmentation accompanied by a consequent growth in the study of the underlying physical processes, the chemistry, the sites, the times, etc. Moreover, recent studies have shown that the formation...
