a model of star formation in clusters in which stars gain most of their mass by competing for gas in the shared potential, favoring stars near the centre.

In astrophysics, competitive accretion refers to a model of star formation in clusters in which stars gain most of their mass by competing for gas in the shared potential, favoring stars near the centre. This meaning comes from Bonnell (2001) in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
