Abstract:
|
|
Criterion of the Jeans instability of interstellar gas clouds that are gravitationally coupled with weakly interacting massive particles is revisited. It is established that presence of the dark matter always reduces the Jeans length and, in turn, the Jeans mass of the interstellar gas clouds. Astrophysical implications of this effect are discussed.
