Star formation Interstellar medium Molecular cloud Bok globule Dark nebula Young stellar object Protostar T Tauri star Herbig Ae/Be stars Nebular hypothesis Object classes Herbig–Haro object Theoretical concepts Initial mass function Jeans instability Kelvin–Helmholtz mechanism  Star portal v d e Star formation is the process by which dense parts of molecular clouds collapse into a ball of plasma to form a star. As a branch of astronomy star formation includes the study of the interstellar medium and giant molecular clouds (GMC) as precursors to the star formation process and the study of young stellar objects and planet formation as its immediate products. Star formation theory, as well as accounting for the formation of a single star, must also account for the statistics of binary stars and the initial mass function.
