Widespread Hot Molecular Gas Heated by Shear-induced Turbulence in the Galactic Center
Juan Li, Junzhi Wang, Zhiqiang Shen +13
We observed NH3 metastable inversion lines from (3, 3) to (18, 18) toward G0.66-0.13 in the Galactic center with the Shanghai Tianma 65m radio telescope and Yebes 40 m telescope. H…
An Improved Fit to the Density Distribution in Supersonic Isothermal Turbulence
Evan Scannapieco, Marcus Brüggen, Philipp Grete +1
The density distribution of supersonic isothermal turbulence plays a critical role in many astrophysical systems. It is commonly approximated by a lognormal distribution with a var…
The Density Distribution of Compressively-Forced Supersonic Turbulence Depends on the Driving Correlation Time
Philipp Grete, Evan Scannapieco, Marcus Brüggen +1
Supersonic turbulence plays a critical role in shaping astrophysical systems, from molecular clouds to the circumgalactic medium. Key properties of this turbulence include the Mach…
Understanding Density Fluctuations in Supersonic, Isothermal Turbulence
Evan Scannapieco, Liubin Pan, Edward Buie +1
Supersonic turbulence occurs in many environments, particularly in astrophysics. In the crucial case of isothermal turbulence, the probability density function (PDF) of the logarit…
The Formation of Protoplanetary Disks through Pre-Main Sequence Bondi-Hoyle Accretion
Paolo Padoan, Liubin Pan, Veli-Matti Pelkonen +2
Protoplanetary disks are traditionally described as finite mass reservoirs left over by the gravitational collapse of the protostellar core, a view that strongly constrains both di…
Collapsing Index: A New Method to Identify Star-forming Cores Based on ALMA Images
Nannan Yue, Yang Gao, Di Li +1
Stars form through the gravitational collapse of molecular cloud cores. Before collapsing, the cores are supported by thermal pressure and turbulent motions. A question of critical…
