ALMAGAL V. Relations between the core populations and the parent clump physical properties

D. Elia, A. Coletta, S. Molinari +54

Context. The fragmentation of massive molecular clumps into smaller, potentially star-forming cores plays a key role in the processes of high-mass star formation. The ALMAGAL proje…

ALMAGAL IV. Morphological comparison of molecular and thermal dust emission using the histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) method

C. Mininni, S. Molinari, J. D. Soler +46

The study of molecular line emission is crucial to unveil the kinematics and the physical conditions of gas in star-forming regions. Our aim is to quantify the reliability of using…

A new tool to derive simultaneously exponent and extremes of power-law distributions

S. Pezzuto, A. Coletta, R. S. Klessen +6

Many experimental quantities show a power-law distribution . In astrophysics, examples are: size distribution of dust grains or luminosity function of galaxies.…
