Synthetic [CII] emission maps of a simulated molecular cloud in formation
A. Franeck, S. Walch, D. Seifried +10
The C ion is an important coolant of interstellar gas, and so the [CII] fine structure line is frequently observed in the interstellar medium. However, the physical and chemi…
Histogram of oriented gradients: a technique for the study of molecular cloud formation
J. D. Soler, H. Beuther, M. Rugel +22
We introduce the histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), a tool developed for machine vision that we propose as a new metric for the systematic characterization of observations of a…
Tracing the formation of molecular clouds via [CII], [CI] and CO emission
Paul C. Clark, Simon C. O. Glover, Sarah E. Ragan +1
Our understanding of how molecular clouds form in the interstellar medium (ISM) would be greatly helped if we had a reliable observational tracer of the gas flows responsible for f…
Synthetic CO observations of fibrous filaments: the problems of mapping from PPV to PPP
S. D. Clarke, A. P. Whitworth, R. L. Spowage +5
Molecular-line observations of filaments in star-forming regions have revealed the existence of elongated coherent features within the filaments; these features are termed fibres.…
