Quantifying Observational Projection Effects Using Molecular Cloud Simulations
Christopher N. Beaumont, Stella S. R. Offner, Rahul Shetty +2
The physical properties of molecular clouds are often measured using spectral-line observations, which provide the only probes of the clouds' velocity structure. It is hard, though…
Hierarchical Bayesian analysis of the velocity power spectrum in supersonic turbulence
Lukas Konstandin, Rahul Shetty, Philipp Girichidis +1
Turbulence is a dominant feature operating in gaseous flows across nearly all scales in astrophysical environments. Accordingly, accurately estimating the statistical properties of…
Relationship between molecular cloud structure and density PDFs
Orlin Stanchev, Sava Donkov, Todor V. Veltchev +1
Volume and column density PDFs in molecular clouds are important diagnostics for understanding their general structure. We developed a novel approach to trace the cloud structure b…
Indications of a sub-linear and non-universal Kennicutt-Schmidt relationship
Rahul Shetty, Brandon C. Kelly, Nurur Rahman +5
We estimate the parameters of the Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) relationship, linking the star formation rate (Sigma_SFR) to the molecular gas surface density (Sigma_mol), in the STING sa…
Line Profiles of Cores within Clusters: II Signatures of Dynamical Collapse during High Mass Star Formation
Rowan J. Smith, Rahul Shetty, Henrik Beuther +2
Observations of atomic or molecular lines can provide important information about the physical state of star forming regions. In order to investigate the line profiles from dynamic…
On the temperature structure of the Galactic Centre cloud G0.253+0.016
Paul C Clark, Simon C. O. Glover, Sarah E. Ragan +2
We present a series of smoothed particle hydrodynamical models of G0.253+0.016 (also known as 'The Brick'), a very dense molecular cloud that lies close to the Galactic Centre. We…
