The Jeans Instability Describes the

The Jeans instability describes the

A) explosion of a star at the end of its life, the supernova phenomenon.
B) overcoming of gas pressure by self-gravity in a cold and dense interstellar cloud, to form a star.
C) conditions under which sufficient numbers of neutrinos can trigger the collapse of an interstellar cloud.
D) expansion of a gas cloud after gravitational contraction because of buildup of great heat within the cloud from gravitational potential energy.
