Quantifying Observational Projection Effects Using Molecular Cloud Simulations
Christopher N. Beaumont, Stella S. R. Offner, Rahul Shetty +2
The physical properties of molecular clouds are often measured using spectral-line observations, which provide the only probes of the clouds' velocity structure. It is hard, though…
On column density thresholds and the star formation rate
Paul C. Clark, Simon C. O. Glover
We present the results of a numerical study designed to address the question of whether there is a column density threshold for star formation within molecular clouds. We have simu…
Molecular cooling in the diffuse interstellar medium
S. C. O. Glover, P. C. Clark
We use a simple one-zone model of the thermal and chemical evolution of interstellar gas to study whether molecular hydrogen (H2) is ever an important coolant of the warm, diffuse…
On the temperature structure of the Galactic Centre cloud G0.253+0.016
Paul C Clark, Simon C. O. Glover, Sarah E. Ragan +2
We present a series of smoothed particle hydrodynamical models of G0.253+0.016 (also known as 'The Brick'), a very dense molecular cloud that lies close to the Galactic Centre. We…
Cloud formation in colliding flows: influence of the choice of cooling function
Milica Micic, Simon C. O. Glover, Robi Banerjee +1
We study the influence of the choice of cooling function on the formation of molecular clouds in high-resolution three-dimensional simulations of converging flows. We directly comp…
