Interstellar Cloud Structure, Fragmentation, and Protostar Formation
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the small scale structure in low mass clouds in the context of the formation of low mass protostellar cores is presented, as well as observations of low-mass clouds are discussed which highlight fragmentation and the role of coalescence processes in core formation.

Quiescent high mass cores in Orion region
TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper obtained CSO 350 μm images of quiescent regions in Orion and detected 51 resolved or nearly resolved molecular cores with masses ranging from 0.1 M to 46 M and the mean mass is 9.8 M, which is one order of magnitude higher than that of the resolved cores in low mass star forming regions, such as Taurus.
