The 95 pages that link to Star formation, each with the reason it gives.

• Molecular cloudNarrower topic: Molecular clouds are the principal sites of star formation in galaxies.

• Brown dwarfNarrower topic: Many brown dwarfs appear to originate through the same cloud-collapse process.

• Jeans instabilityNarrower topic: Jeans-unstable gas clouds can begin the collapse that forms stars.

• Molecular hydrogenNarrower topic: H₂-rich clouds provide the material and cooling conditions associated with most present-day star formation.

• Orion NebulaNarrower topic: The nebula displays this process while massive stars are still forming nearby.

• Solar nebulaNarrower topic: The Sun’s birth was one instance of star formation within a larger cloud.

• Emission nebulaNarrower topic: Emission nebulae mark regions where massive young stars illuminate the material from which they formed.

• Herbig–Haro objectNarrower topic: Herbig–Haro objects are visible signs of active star formation.

• Stellar associationNarrower topic: Associations preserve the nearby stellar products of a shared episode of star formation.

• Stellar rotationNarrower topic: The collapsing cloud’s angular momentum sets the initial conditions for stellar spin.

• Rho Ophiuchi cloud complexNarrower topic: The complex offers a nearby setting for studying this process across multiple stages.

• Double ClusterNarrower topic: Both clusters formed from star-forming material in the Perseus region.

• Interacting galaxyNarrower topic: Interactions can compress or funnel gas, changing the rate and location of star formation.
