Fragmentation of a gas cloud with orthogonal rotation and magnetic axes. (English) Zbl 0635.76037
We study the evolution of a rotating, cool, self-gravitating gas cloud, permeated by flux from the local galactic magnetic field, and with the magnetic and rotation axes mutually orthogonal. If the fluxhree- dimensional wing-body configuration is analyzed and the results are compared with those obtained through experiments.
