SSPSF model

The SSPSF (““stochastic self-propagating star formation) model of star formation was proposed by Mueller & Arnett [1] in 1976, generalized afterward by Gerola & Seiden [2] in 1978 and Gerola, Seiden, & Schulman [3] in 1980. This model proposes that star formation propagates via the action of shock waves produced by stellar winds and supernovae that compose the interstellar medium.
