How Gas Filaments and Interfilaments Feed Star Formation in Monoceros R2
Researchers studied gas flows in the Monoceros R2 star forming region to understand how gas is channeled into star forming hubs. By tracing the flow of carbon monoxide, they found that a system of hub-filaments and interfilaments are responsible for feeding gas into star-forming locations. The filaments move most of the gas, but the interfilaments play a role too, especially by feeding more gas…
