How first hydrostatic cores, tidal forces and gravo-turbulent fluctuations set the characteristic mass of stars
The peak of the stellar initial mass function is set by tidal forces and turbulent fluctuations that fragment the envelope around a first hydrostatic core, yielding a characteristic stellar mass of about 10 times that core mass.
