The 20 pages that link to Protostar, each with the reason it gives.

• Stellar evolutionBroader topic: It is an early stage between a collapsing cloud and a stable star.

• Star formationBroader topic: It is the central object assembled during gravitational collapse and accretion.

• Molecular cloudBroader topic: Protostars emerge from collapsing cores within molecular clouds.

• Stellar rotationBroader topic: Accretion and magnetic interactions can strongly change a protostar’s rotation.

• StarBroader topic: A protostar is the direct precursor to a stable, hydrogen-burning star.

• Dark nebulaBroader topic: Protostars form inside obscuring clouds and often emerge first in infrared observations.

• Bok globuleBroader topic: A collapsing globule can produce a protostar at its center.

• Kelvin–Helmholtz mechanismBroader topic: A protostar radiates energy released by contraction during its early evolution.

• Prestellar coreBroader topic: A collapsing prestellar core can develop into this next stage.

• Rho Ophiuchi cloud complexBroader topic: Protostars mark the embedded stage of star formation found in the complex.

• Young stellar objectBroader topic: This early phase is where a young stellar object is still assembling most of its mass.

• Formation and evolution of stars and galaxiesBroader topic: It marks the intermediate stage between a collapsing cloud core and a star.
