Abstract: | Theories of solar system formation often presuppose the existence of the protosun and an accompanying preplanetary nebula. Numerical three-dimensional calculations are presented which demonstrate the possibility of formation of a co-orbital, triple protostellar system, which is unstable to decay to a binary and an ejected single star. The calculations are used to construct a plausible scenario for presolar nebula formation based on a hierarchy of collapse and fragmentation. While this sequence is unlikely to produce many single stars, it remains a possible sequence for the formation of the presolar nebula. |
