Simulations of the Aquila Rift show uneven clumps accreting gas and merging along filaments to form a fractal cluster whose velocity anisotropies, rotation, and expansion record the assembly history even after gas removal.
New observations confirm hourglass magnetic fields at clump scales in G35.20-0.74, with strengths of approximately 600 μG in G35N and 850 μG in G35S, supporting magnetically regulated collapse in G35N and feedback influence in G35S.
