Turbulence and star formation efficiency in molecular clouds: solenoidal versus compressive motions in Orion B
Jan H. Orkisz, Jérôme Pety, Maryvonne Gerin +13
The nature of turbulence in molecular clouds is one of the key parameters that control star formation efficiency: compressive motions, as opposed to solenoidal motions, can trigger…
Feedback in Clouds II: UV Photoionisation and the first supernova in a massive cloud
Sam Geen, Patrick Hennebelle, Pascal Tremblin +1
Molecular cloud structure is regulated by stellar feedback in various forms. Two of the most important feedback processes are UV photoionisation and supernovae from massive stars.…
Mopra CO Observations of the Bubble HII Region RCW120
L. D. Anderson, L. Deharveng, A. Zavagno +6
We use the Mopra radio telescope to test for expansion of the molecular gas associated with the bubble HII region RCW120. A ring, or bubble, morphology is common for Galactic HII r…
Understanding star formation in molecular clouds II. Signatures of gravitational collapse of IRDCs
N. Schneider, T. Csengeri, R. S. Klessen +6
We analyse column density and temperature maps derived from Herschel dust continuum observations of a sample of massive infrared dark clouds (G11.11-0.12, G18.82-0.28, G28.37+0.07,…
Understanding star formation in molecular clouds I. Effects of line-of-sight contamination on the column density structure
N. Schneider, V. Ossenkopf, T. Csengeri +6
Column-density maps of molecular clouds are one of the most important observables in the context of molecular cloud- and star-formation (SF) studies. With the Herschel satellite it…
