Notes. Rfc, Mfc and Tfc give the radius and mass of the first core, and the temperature at the first core border respectively. The mass accretion rate and accretion luminosity Lacc = GMfc/Rfc are also computed at the first core border. Tc and Sc give the central temperature and entropy. αacc is a typical accretion parameter. The comparative values are roughly estimated at ρc ~  × 10-11 g cm-3 in Masunaga et al. (1998), at ρc = 10-10 g cm-3 in Commerçon et al. (2011) and at ρc = 2 × 10-10 g cm-3 in Larson (1969).
