 for finite [[latex($\lambda_J$)]] (i.e.  pressure gradients are null/gravity dominates), the characteristic collapse time becomes
 [[latex($\tau = [\frac{1}{4 \pi G \rho0}]^{1/2} ~ \frac{1}{2} t_{ff}$)]]
+[[latex($\tau = [\frac{1}{4 \pi G \rho0}]^{1/2} \sim t_{ff}$)]]
 where [[latex($t_ff$)]] is the freefall time for a spherical region of uniform gas.
+where [[latex($t_{ff}$)]] is the freefall time for a spherical region of uniform gas. It is interesting that if you calculated the proportionality constant, you'd see that [[latex($\tau \sim \frac{1}{2} t_{ff}$)]].
