On the role of gravity, turbulence, and the magnetic field in angular momentum transfer within molecular clouds

Griselda Arroyo-Chavez, Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni, James Wurster

Observations of molecular structures on scales of $\sim 0.1-50$ pc show that the specific angular momentum ($j$) scales with radius ($R$) as $j\sim R^{3/2}$. We study the effects o…
