How much of a molecular cloud can end up as "starstuff"?

This quantity is referred to as star formation efficiency (SFE) by astronomers who study star formation and galaxy evolution.

Understanding Star Formation in the Perseus Molecular Cloud

For typical molcular cloud conditions (i.e., n ≈ 102 cm−3 and temperature T ≈ 10 K), the Jeans mass is ~500 M . Molecular clouds contain tens of thousands of ...

How do stars form inside molecular clouds? What is the difference ...

That is where most stars are formed. Certain galaxies are full of these clouds, usually formed from the explosion of previous blue giant stars ...

Star Formation in Molecular Clouds

However, at the high densities where stars form, hydrogen tends to be molecular rather than atomic, and H2 is extremely hard to observe directly. To understand ...
