The Molecular Cloud Lifecycle II: Formation and Destruction of Molecular Clouds Diagnosed via H Fluorescent Emission Emission
Blakesley Burkhart, Shmuel Bialy, Daniel Seifried +11
Molecular hydrogen (H) formation and dissociation are key processes that drive the gas lifecycle in galaxies. Using the SImulating the LifeCycle of Molecular Clouds (SILCC) zoo…
