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.…
Interpreting the sub-linear Kennicutt-Schmidt relationship: The case for diffuse molecular gas
Rahul Shetty, Paul C. Clark, Ralf S. Klessen
Recent statistical analysis of two extragalactic observational surveys strongly indicate a sublinear Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) relationship between the star formation rate (Sigsfr) an…
Principal Component Analysis of Molecular Clouds: Can CO reveal the dynamics?
Erik Bertram, Rahul Shetty, Simon C. O. Glover +3
We use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to study the gas dynamics in numerical simulations of typical MCs. Our simulations account for the non-isothermal nature of the gas and in…
Line Profiles of Cores within Clusters. III. What is the most reliable tracer of core collapse in dense clusters?
Roxana-Adela Chira, Rowan J. Smith, Ralf S. Klessen +2
Recent observational and theoretical investigations have emphasised the importance of filamentary networks within molecular clouds as sites of star formation. Since such environmen…
The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor across the Perseus Molecular Cloud
Min-Young Lee, Snezana Stanimirovic, Mark G. Wolfire +4
We derive the CO-to-H2 conversion factor, X_CO = N(H2)/I_CO, across the Perseus molecular cloud on sub-parsec scales by combining the dust-based N(H2) data with the I_CO data from…
