Abstract:
The process of star formation ,from the collapse of molecular cloud to the birth of pre stellar object is strongly influenced by the topological structure of the local gravitational field. This study focuses on the role of gravitational field topology in determining the collapse process, particularly the likelihood of forming binary stars. Our main hypothesis is that the geometry of molecular clouds with concave features ,due to multi-well gravitational potentials and elongated nebulae, are likely star-forming candidate prone to producing binary stars. To examine this hypothesis, a parametric framework has been developed that includes the analytical modeling include depictions of gravitational potential contours as well as binary probability curve and gravitational field vectors in Gauss’s law. Depending on the elongation ratio of the cloud ,the results show that high anisotropy in the primordial nebula is strongly associated with an increased probability of forming binary system.
