Filament formation via collision-induced magnetic reconnection – formation of a star cluster

A collision-induced magnetic reconnection (CMR) mechanism was recently proposed to explain the formation of a filament in Orion molecular cloud. In this mechanism, collision between two clouds with antiparallel fields produces dense due tension reconnected fields. The contains fiber-like sub-structures and is confined by helical field. To show whether capable forming stars, we use \textsc{Arepo} code sink particles model star following CMR-filament. First, CMR-filament confirmed \textsc{Arepo}. Second, able form cluster after it collapses along its main axis. Compared control without fields, CMR shows distinctive features. CMR-cluster factor $\sim4$ smaller volume. confinement combination field gravity. has $\sim2$ lower rate. slower again surface that hinders gas inflow from larger scales. Mass only supplied accreting through streamers.
