How the power spectrum of dust continuum images may hide the presence of a characteristic filament width

Arabindo Roy, Philippe André, Doris Arzoumanian +6

Herschel observations of interstellar clouds support a paradigm for star formation in which filaments play a central role. One of the foundations of this paradigm is the finding, b…
