Modeling CO Emission: I. CO as a Column Density Tracer and the X-Factor in Molecular Clouds
Rahul Shetty, Simon C. Glover, Cornelis P. Dullemond +1
Theoretical and observational investigations have indicated that the abundance of carbon monoxide (CO) is very sensitive to intrinsic properties of the gaseous medium, such as dens…
The Mass-Size Relation from Clouds to Cores. II. Solar Neighborhood Clouds
Jens Kauffmann, Thushara Pillai, Rahul Shetty +2
We measure the mass and size of cloud fragments in several molecular clouds continuously over a wide range of spatial scales (0.05 < r / pc < 3). Based on the recently developed "d…
The Effect of Projection on Derived Mass-Size and Linewidth-Size Relationships
Rahul Shetty, David C. Collins, Jens Kauffmann +3
Power law mass-size and linewidth-size correlations, two of "Larson's laws," are often studied to assess the dynamical state of clumps within molecular clouds. Using the result of…
The Mass-Size Relation from Clouds to Cores. I. A new Probe of Structure in Molecular Clouds
J. Kauffmann, T. Pillai, R. Shetty +2
We use a new contour-based map analysis technique to measure the mass and size of molecular cloud fragments continuously over a wide range of spatial scales (0.05 < r / pc < 10), i…
