Observed protostellar luminosity function for Cygnus X overlaid with theoretical models
Date
Observed protostellar luminosity function for Cygnus X overlaid with theoretical models. The blue histograms show the observations. The blue curve represents the isothermal-sphere model, which clearly does not fit the observations. The turbulent-core (orange) and competitive-accretion (green) models both reproduce the general characteristics of the observations.
