Magnetized Turbulence
Mordecai-Mark Mac Low
Several topics in the theory of magnetized turbulence are reviewed with application to star formation and the interstellar medium. The density, pressure, and temperature distributi…
Gravoturbulent Star Cluster Formation
Ralf S. Klessen, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes, Yuexing Li +1
Stars form by gravoturbulent fragmentation of interstellar gas clouds. The supersonic turbulence ubiquitously observed in Galactic molecular gas generates strong density fluctuatio…
Turbulence in the Interstellar Medium: Energetics and Driving Mechanisms
Mordecai-Mark Mac Low
Interstellar turbulence is expected to dissipate quickly in the absence of continuous energy input. I examine the energy available for driving the turbulence from six likely mechan…
MHD Turbulence in Star-Forming Regions and the Interstellar Medium
Mordecai-Mark Mac Low
MHD turbulence plays a central role in the physics of star-forming molecular clouds and the interstellar medium. I here show that MHD turbulence in molecular clouds must be driven…
Mixing of Primordial Elements in a Supernova-Driven ISM
Miguel A. de Avillez, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low
In order to understand the time scales for complete mixing in a supernova-driven ISM we used the model of Avillez (2000) to follow the mixing and dispersal of inhomogeneities with…
Column Density Probability Distribution Functions in Turbulent Molecular Clouds: A Comparison between Theory and Observations
Andreas Burkert, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low
The one-point statistics of column density distributions of turbulent molecular cloud models are investigated and compared with observations. In agreement with the observations, th…
