On the fragmentation of filaments in a molecular cloud simulation
R. -A. Chira, J. Kainulainen, J. C. Ibàñez-Mejía +2
The fragmentation of filaments in molecular clouds has attracted a lot of attention as there seems to be a relation between the evolution of filaments and star formation. The study…
Constraining the Dust Opacity Law in Three Small and Isolated Molecular Clouds
K. Webb, J. Di Francesco, S. Sadavoy +6
Density profiles of isolated cores derived from thermal dust continuum emission rely on models of dust properties, such as mass opacity, which are poorly constrained. With compleme…
Mass reservoirs surrounding massive infrared dark clouds: A view by near-infrared dust extinction
J. Kainulainen, J. Alves, H. Beuther +2
Context: Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) harbor progenitors of high-mass stars. Little is known of the parental molecular clouds of the IRDCs. Aims: We demonstrate the feasibility of…
