Unfolding the Laws of Star Formation: The Density Distribution of Molecular Clouds
Jouni Kainulainen, Christoph Federrath, Thomas Henning
The formation of stars shapes the structure and evolution of entire galaxies. The rate and efficiency of this process are affected substantially by the density structure of the ind…
Opacity Broadening of CO Linewidths and its Effect on the Variance-Sonic Mach Number Relation
Caio Correia, Blakesley Burkhart, Alex Lazarian +5
We study how the estimation of the sonic Mach number () from CO linewidths relates to the actual 3D sonic Mach number. For this purpose we analyze MHD simulations which…
Giant Molecular Filaments in the Milky Way
Sarah E. Ragan, Thomas Henning, Jochen Tackenberg +4
Throughout the Milky Way, molecular clouds typically appear filamentary, and mounting evidence indicates that this morphology plays an important role in star formation. What is not…
