Scientific paper

The conditions under which gas cloud collisions can induce star formation in protogalaxies or young galaxies are discussed. The specific case of fast collisions between metal-free, warm, atomic gas clouds has an enhanced chance of inducing star formation as a result of H2 molecule formation and molecular cooling. This case is an exception to the rule that fast (much greater than Mach 1) isothermal cloud collisions lead to cloud disruption.
