Context. Cloud fragmentation into dense cores is a critical step in the process of star
formation. A number of recent observations show that it is connected to the filamentary …

Context. Despite their variety of scales throughout the interstellar medium, filaments in
nearby low-mass clouds appear to have a characteristic width of∼ 0.1 pc from the analysis …

Context. Filamentary structures are common in molecular clouds. Explaining how they
fragment to dense cores is a missing step in understanding their role in star formation. Aims …

We use numerical simulations of turbulent cluster-forming regions to study the nature of
dense filamentary structures in star formation. Using four hydrodynamic and …

The classical picture of a star-forming filament is a near-equilibrium structure with its
collapse dependent on its gravitational criticality. Recent observations have complicated this …

Analyzing the kinematics of filamentary molecular clouds is a crucial step toward
understanding their role in the star formation process. Therefore, we study the kinematics of …

The properties of filamentary interstellar clouds observed at submillimetre wavelengths,
especially by the Herschel Space Observatory, are analysed with polytropic models in …

New models of star-forming filamentary clouds are presented in order to quantify their
properties and to predict their evolution. These 2D axisymmetric models describe filaments …

We present a solution for the observed core fragmentation of filaments in the Taurus L1517
dark cloud which previously could not be explained. Core fragmentation is a vital step for the …

Filamentary structures are ubiquitous in astrophysics and are observed at various scales. On
a cosmological scale, matter is usually distributed along filaments, and filaments are also …
