Towards a population synthesis model of self-gravitating disc fragmentation and tidal downsizing II: the effect of fragment–fragment interactions

DH Forgan, C Hall, F Meru… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
It is likely that most protostellar systems undergo a brief phase where the protostellar disc is
