For all the simulations, the ratios of the kinetic energy and thermal energy to the gravitational energy were fixed at $\\beta$=0.21 and $\\alpha$=0.24, respectively. Most of the simulations finish by forming a single protostar, except for two simulations that form a binary system of protostars. In order to quantify the differences (or similarities) between the two types of simulations, we calculate some integral properties of the resulting protostars, such as the mass M$_f$ and the ratios $\\alpha_f$ and $\\beta_f$", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-06-20T20:54:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "turbulent modes", "core collapse", "simulations", "uniform gas core", "gravitational collapse" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
