Dense Core Collisions in Molecular Clouds: Formation of Streamers and Binary Stars

Dense core collisions, previously regarded as minor in star formation, are proposed to play a significant role in structure formation around protostellar envelopes and binary formation. Using archival data of nearby star-forming regions, we determine the frequencies of core collisions. Our calculati...
