which refers to the fragments of cloud that contract and form a stellar core
Answer (1)
The fragments of a cloud that contract and form a stellar core are called protostellar fragments or dense cores.These are regions within a molecular cloud (also known as a stellar nursery) that become gravitationally unstable. As they collapse under their own gravity, they form a protostar, which is the early stage in the formation of a star.[tex][/tex]
