Scientific paper

Field's (1971) treatment of radiation-driven instabilities has been modified by including a frequency dependence in the absorptivity of the interstellar gas. It is found that in this case instabilities may develop on time scales much shorter than the free-fall time, in contrast to Field's conclusions, which are based upon a frequency-independent absorptivity. These instabilities may possibly be of importance for the fragmentation of interstellar gas clouds to form stars.
