Gas density distributions: (top) densities in which sinks form, as well as the density of the accreted gas, (second) densities in which most of the ionizing radiation is emitted, (third) densities in which stellar winds are ejected, and (bottom) densities in which SNe explode. The vertical dotted lines mark the critical densities supported by the two gravitational softening lengths of the gas particles.
