Clumps in the outer disk by disk instability: Why they are initially gas giants and the legacy of disruption (2009, background): “For example, a nonrotating, one Jupiter-mass clump will contract for about a few×105 yr, until molecular hydrogen dissociates, causing rapid collapse (e.g., Tohline, 2002).”
MAPPING THE SHORES OF THE BROWN DWARF DESERT. II. MULTIPLE STAR FORMATION IN TAURUS–AURIGA (2011, background): “Several models have been proposed as the primary mechanism for multiple star formation (e.g. Bonnell 2001; Tohline 2002), with the three leading contenders being prompt fragmentation during an isothermal protostellar clump’s initial freefall collapse, fission of a nonisothermal protostellar core…”
THE VLA NASCENT DISK AND MULTIPLICITY SURVEY OF PERSEUS PROTOSTARS (VANDAM). II. MULTIPLICITY OF PROTOSTARS IN THE PERSEUS MOLECULAR CLOUD (2016, background): “Thus, multiple stellar systems are a common outcome of the star formation process and our physical understanding of star formation must account for the formation of multiple systems (e.g., Mathieu 1994; Tohline 2002; Reipurth et al. 2014).”
Mind Your Ps and Qs: The Interrelation between Period (P) and Mass-ratio (Q) Distributions of Binary Stars (2016, background): “1 AU cannot easily form in situ (Tohline 2002).”
ELECTROMAGNETIC COUNTERPARTS TO BLACK HOLE MERGERS DETECTED BY LIGO (2016, background): “…a collapsing, rapidly rotating system was considered in the literature as a path towards the formation of common envelope massive star binaries through fission (Tohline 2002; New & Tohline 1997) as well as binaries of supermassive BHs from the collapse of supermassive stars (Reisswig et al. 2013).”
Tertiary Companions to Close Spectroscopic Binaries (2006, background): “Fission of a rapidly rotating pre-main sequence stellar configuration appears unlikely according to the most recent theoretical results (Tohline 2002).”
Stellar Multiplicity (2013, background): “On the theoretical side, prompt fragmentation during the gravitational collapse of a prestellar core appears to be the favored formation mechanism although no single process appears to account for all observed multiplicity properties (Tohline 2002).”
THE FORMATION OF LOW-MASS BINARY STAR SYSTEMS VIA TURBULENT FRAGMENTATION (2010, background): “Although there are numerous proposed mechanisms for binary formation (see for example Tohline 2002), we focus here on two prominent channels: the fragmentation of a turbulent core, and the fragmentation of a gravitationally unstable disk.”
