In the introduction, they state: &nbsp; <font color="darkgreen">Once a core mass grows beyond its Bonnor-Ebert mass, the core rapidly collapses within about a free-fall time &hellip;</font>
** "Elmegreen (1999), for example, has proposed that the minimum stellar mass is of the order of this Bonnor-Ebert mass."
