The Lifetimes of Molecular Cloud Cores: What is the Role of the Magnetic Field?
E. Vazquez-Semadeni, J. Kim, M. Shadmehri +1
We discuss the lifetimes and evolution of dense cores formed as turbulent density fluctuations in magnetized, isothermal molecular clouds. We consider numerical simulations in whic…

Can Hydrostatic Cores Form Within Isothermal Molecular Clouds?
Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni, Mohsen Shadmehri, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes
Under the assumptions that molecular clouds are nearly spatially and temporally isothermal and that the density peaks (``cores'') within them are formed by turbulent fluctuations,…
