Analytic Modeling of CO Surface-Density Profiles in the M31 Molecular Clouds
Eric Keto, Charles Lada, Jan Forbrich
We analyze CO observations of molecular clouds in the Andromeda galaxy (M31) with a new method to derive surface-density profiles and compare directly with projected solutions of t…

Apparent Stability in Self-Gravitating Turbulence and the Evolution of Molecular Clouds
Eric Keto
Recent observations of hydrostatic structure and virial equilibrium in supersonically turbulent, self-gravitating molecular clouds imply a stability that contrasts with the transci…

The Role of Pressure in the Structure and Stability of GMCs in the Andromeda Galaxy
C. J. Lada, J. Forbrich, M. R. Krumholz +1
We revisit the role of pressure in the structure, stability and confinement of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in light of recently published observations and analysis of the GMCs in…
