Wide-binary Stars Formed in the Turbulent Interstellar Medium
The ubiquitous interstellar turbulence regulates star formation and the scaling relations between the initial velocity differences and the initial separations of stars. We propose that the formation of wide binaries with initial separations r in the range ∼10 ^3 au ≲ r ≲ 10 ^5 au is a natural conseq...
