The physical properties of the so-called Ostriker isothermal, non-rotating filament have been classically used as benchmark to interpret the stability of the filaments observed in nearby clouds. However, such static picture seems to…

Observations of the cores of nearby galaxy clusters show H$\alpha$ and molecular emission line filaments. We argue that these are the result of {\em local} thermal instability in a {\em globally} stable galaxy cluster core. We present…
In recent years, there were studies on the omnipresence and structures of filaments in star-forming regions, and the role of their fragmentation in the process of star formation. However, only a few studies analysed the evolution of…
