Using CO line ratios to trace the physical properties of molecular clouds
Camilo H. Peñaloza, Paul C. Clark, Simon C. O. Glover +2
The carbon monoxide (CO) rotational transition lines are the most common tracers of molecular gas within giant molecular clouds (MCs). We study the ratio () between CO…
Distribution and mass of diffuse and dense CO gas in the Milky Way
Julia Roman-Duval, Mark Heyer, Christopher Brunt +3
Emission from carbon monoxide (CO) is ubiquitously used as a tracer of dense star forming molecular clouds. There is, however, growing evidence that a significant fraction of CO em…
Simultaneously modelling far-infrared dust emission and its relation to CO emission in star forming galaxies
Rahul Shetty, Julia Roman-Duval, Sacha Hony +6
We present a method to simultaneously model the dust far-infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) and the total infrared carbon monoxide (CO) integrated intensity $(S_{\rm I…
Mach number study of supersonic turbulence: The properties of the density field
Lukas Konstandin, Wolfram Schmidt, Philipp Girichidis +3
We model driven, compressible, isothermal, turbulence with Mach numbers ranging from the subsonic () to the highly supersonic regime ($\mathcal{M}\approx…
Tracing the general structure of Galactic molecular clouds using Planck data: I. The Perseus region as a test case
Orlin Stanchev, Todor V. Veltchev, Jens Kauffmann +4
We present an analysis of probability distribution functions (pdfs) of column density in different zones of the star-forming region Perseus and its diffuse environment based on the…
Centroid Velocity Statistics of Molecular Clouds
Erik Bertram, Lukas Konstandin, Rahul Shetty +2
We compute structure functions and Fourier spectra of 2D centroid velocity (CV) maps in order to study the gas dynamics of typical molecular clouds (MCs) in numerical simulations.…
