Pulsating dust cloud dynamics modeled

Posted: 12 Sep 2013 06:25 AM PDT

New research outlines a new design of spatio-temporal models of astrophysical plasmas. The birth of stars is an event that eludes intuitive understanding. It is the collapse of dense molecular clouds under their own weight that offers the best sites of star formation. Now, astronomers have proposed a new model for investigating molecular cloud fluctuations at sites of star formation and thus are able to study their pulsational dynamics.
