A simple model for galaxy formation

Numerical experiments concerning the dynamics of a distribution of interacting gas clouds in a proto-galactic potential well are analyzed. Dissipation of energy by means of inelastic cloud collisions produce, after a few free fall times a strong flattening and a large ratio of rotational vs. total k...
