Radial profiles (across and down) of (a) density, (b) pressure, (c) gas temperature (=radiation temperature), (d) velocity, and (e) enclosed mass as well as the (f) thermal structure, (g) Mach number, (h) ratio of gas to ram pressure Pram = ρu2, (i) internal energy density as a function of temperature, (j) optical depth, (k) degree of ionisation (Bhandare et al. 2018, Eq. (16)), and (l) degree of dissociation (Bhandare et al. 2018, Eq. (17)) for all the cases at the final simulation snapshot (final times for different cases indicated in Table 2) in our simulations when the central density is roughly 0.5−0.8 g cm−3. Different colours indicate cloud cores with different initial masses as seen in the colour bar. Grey lines in the thermal structure plot show the 50% dissociation and ionisation curves.
