The formation of a quadruple star system with wide separation
Observations of a wide-separation quadruple system in the Perseus star-forming region reveal a young protostar
and
three gravitationally bound dense gas condensations
,
each condensation is expected to form a star
and
the closest pair will form a bound binary
,
while the quadruple stellar system itself is bound but unstable on timescales of 500,000
,
years.
