The Molecular Cloud Lifecycle II: Formation and Destruction of Molecular Clouds Diagnosed via H Fluorescent Emission Emission
Blakesley Burkhart, Shmuel Bialy, Daniel Seifried +11
Molecular hydrogen (H) formation and dissociation are key processes that drive the gas lifecycle in galaxies. Using the SImulating the LifeCycle of Molecular Clouds (SILCC) zoo…
Probing the Conditions for the Hı-to-H Transition in the Interstellar Medium
Gyueun Park, Min-Young Lee, Shmuel Bialy +9
In this paper, we investigate the conditions for the HI-to-H transition in the solar neighborhood by analyzing HI emission and absorption measurements toward 58 Galactic line…
Fitting Probability Distribution Functions in Turbulent Star-Forming Molecular Clouds
Avery Kiihne, Sabrina M. Appel, Blakesley Burkhart +2
We use a suite of 3D simulations of star-forming molecular clouds, with and without stellar feedback and magnetic fields, to investigate the effectiveness of different fitting meth…
What Sets the Star Formation Rate of Molecular Clouds? The Density Distribution as a Fingerprint of Compression and Expansion Rates
Sabrina M. Appel, Blakesley Burkhart, Vadim A. Semenov +3
We use a suite of 3D simulations of star-forming molecular clouds, with and without stellar feedback, magnetic fields, and driven turbulence, to study the compression and expansion…
Probes of turbulent driving mechanisms in molecular clouds from fluctuations in synchrotron intensity
C. A. Herron, C. Federrath, B. M. Gaensler +3
Previous studies have shown that star formation depends on the driving of molecular cloud turbulence, and differences in the driving can produce an order of magnitude difference in…
The HI Probability Distribution Function and the Atomic-to-Molecular Transition in Molecular Clouds
Nia Imara, Blakesley Burkhart
We characterize the column density probability distributions functions (PDFs) of the atomic hydrogen gas, HI, associated with seven Galactic molecular clouds (MCs). We use 21 cm ob…
