Angular momentum plays an important role in star formation. Which of the following characteristics of a protostellar system is probably not strongly affected by the star's angular momentum?
A) The onset of core hydrogen fusion
B) The existence of protostellar jets
C) The strength of protostellar winds
D) The formation of a protostellar disk

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The onset of core hydrogen fusion is mainly determined by the mass of the protostar and its internal temperature and pressure, which are not strongly affected by its angular momentum. The other options (B, C, and D) are all related to the protostar's rotation and angular momentum.
