Formation of a Two-Dense-Rings-Pattern Disk from the Collapse of a Cloud

Nagel, E.

In this paper, the formation of a disk resulting from the collapse of a rigidly-rotating cloud is studied. The plane perpendicular to the angular velocity axis that contains the star is the locus where materials falling from both sides face each other with the consequent formation of a double layer shock structure. The shocked material that moves …
