dc.descriptionProtostellar core formation is probably much more dynamic, and magnetic fields are probably much less important, than has been previously assumed in the standard model of low-mass star formation. This revised picture has important consequences: it is easier to understand the observed rapidity of star formation in molecular clouds; cores are more likely to have structures favoring high infall rates at early times, helping to explain the differences between Class 0 and Class I protostars; and core structure and asymmetry will strongly favor post-collapse fragmentation into binary and multiple stellar systems.
