Magnetic Field - Gas Density Relation and Observational Implications Revisited
A. Tritsis, G. V. Panopoulou, T. Ch. Mouschovias +2
We revisit the relation between magnetic-field strength () and gas density () for contracting interstellar clouds and fragments (or, cores), which is central in observational…
Hydromagnetic Waves in Weakly Ionised Media. I. Basic Theory, and Application to Interstellar Molecular Clouds
Telemachos Ch. Mouschovias, Glenn E. Ciolek, S. A. Morton
We present a comprehensive study of MHD waves and instabilities in a weakly ionised system, e.g., an interstellar molecular cloud. We determine all the critical wavelengths of pert…
Self-Consistent Analysis of OH-Zeeman Observations: Too Much Noise about Noise
Telemachos Ch. Mouschovias, Konstantinos Tassis
We had recently re-analyzed in a self-consistent way OH-Zeeman observations in four molecular-cloud envelopes and we had shown that, contrary to claims by Crutcher et al., there is…
Do Lognormal Column-Density Distributions in Molecular Clouds Imply Supersonic Turbulence?
K. Tassis, D. A. Christie, A. Urban +4
Recent observations of column densities in molecular clouds find lognormal distributions with power-law high-density tails. These results are often interpreted as indications that…
The nonisothermal stage of magnetic star formation. II. Results
M. W. Kunz, T. Ch. Mouschovias
In a previous paper we formulated the problem of the formation and evolution of fragments (or cores) in magnetically-supported, self-gravitating molecular clouds in axisymmetric ge…
Testing Molecular-Cloud Fragmentation Theories: Self-Consistent Analysis of OH Zeeman Observations
Telemachos Ch. Mouschovias, Konstantinos Tassis
The ambipolar-diffusion theory of star formation predicts the formation of fragments in molecular clouds with mass-to-flux ratios greater than that of the parent-cloud envelope. By…
