Statistical properties and correlation length in star-forming molecular clouds: II. Gravitational potential and virial parameter
Etienne Jaupart, Gilles Chabrier
In the first article of this series, we have used the ergodic theory to assess the validity of a statistical approach to characterize various properties of star-forming molecular c…
Statistical properties and correlation length in star-forming molecular clouds: I. Formalism and application to observations
Etienne Jaupart, Gilles Chabrier
The proper characterization of the general statistical behavior of these fluctuations, from a limited sample of observations or simulations, is of prime importance to understand th…
Generalised transport equation of the Autocovariance Function of the density field and mass invariant in star-forming clouds
Etienne Jaupart, Gilles Chabrier
In this Letter, we study the evolution of the autocovariance function (ACF) of density field fluctuations in star-forming clouds and thus of the correlation length of thes…
Evolution of the density PDF in star forming clouds: the role of gravity
Etienne Jaupart, Gilles Chabrier
We derive an analytical theory of the PDF of density fluctuations in supersonic turbulence in the presence of gravity in star-forming clouds. The theory is based on a rigorous deri…
