Fractal origin of the ideal hierarchical star clusters
It is shown that the simplest (ideal) hierarchical star clusters have fractal structure. The volume fractal measure of the dynamical stable clusters (0 ÷ 0,33) is less than on of the molecular clouds (2,3 ÷ 2,5). Perhaps this is a reason why formation of hierarchical star clusters take place very ra...
