Probing the evolution of molecular cloud structure: From quiescence to birth
J. Kainulainen, H. Beuther, T. Henning +1
Aims: We derive the probability density functions (PDFs) of column density for a complete sample of prominent molecular cloud complexes closer than 200 pc. Methods: We derive near-…
Dense cores in the Pipe Nebula: An improved core mass function
J. M. Rathborne, C. J. Lada, A. A. Muench +3
In this paper we derive an improved core mass function (CMF) for the Pipe Nebula from a detailed comparison between measurements of visual extinction and molecular-line emission. W…
On the fidelity of the core mass functions derived from dust column density data
J. Kainulainen, C. J. Lada, J. M. Rathborne +1
Aims: We examine the recoverability and completeness limits of the dense core mass functions (CMFs) derived for a molecular cloud using extinction data and a core identification sc…
