Scientific paper

Following the work of Chu (1983), the present treatment of the role of ambipolar diffusion in the heating of molecular cloud cores calculates the quasistatic evolution of a plane-parallel self-gravitating slab of slightly ionized gas due to the ambipolar diffusion of the field. The temperature at each point of the cloud is computed in light of the most important heating and cooling processes; the results obtained are found to partially explain the thermal differences between the cores forming low- and high-mass stars.
