内容記述 | The spherical collapse of a gas cloud initially in hydrostatic equilibrium is examined using self-similar solutions. It is found that the collapse of gas clouds to form galaxies can occur on a hydrodynamic time scale only if the gas dominates the gravitational field and the inflow forms a central dominant mass. The likelihood of a collisionless component and the observation of extended mass distributions in galaxies implies that the collapse of a hot protogalactic cloud is cooling-regulated. The formation of the Galaxy from an initially smooth, hot cloud is examined, showing that some nonlinear substructure must initially be present. |
