Notes:
Abstract Observations of very massive stars (M≥10M ⊙) are suggestive of a star formation process which requires an external trigger. However, observations pertaining to the formation of stars of lower mass (M≤9M ⊙) require no such triggering mechanism and are consistent with the idea that such stars form as a natural consequence of the evolution, gravitational collapse and fragmentation of a proto-stellar molecular cloud.
