Kinetic Energy Decay Rates of Supersonic and Super-Alfvenic Turbulence in Star-Forming Clouds
Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Ralf S. Klessen, Andreas Burkert +1
We present numerical studies of compressible, decaying turbulence, with and without magnetic fields, with initial rms Alfven and Mach numbers ranging up to five, and apply the resu…

Structure and Dynamics of Magnetized Interstellar Clouds: Super-Alfvenic Turbulence?
Mordecai-Mark Mac Low
This review summarizes the argument for molecular clouds being dominated by turbulence, most likely super-Alfvenic turbulence. Five lines of observational evidence are given: molec…

The formation of C-shocks: structure and signatures
Michael D. Smith, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low
Shock waves in molecular clouds should evolve into continuous or C-type structures due to the magnetic field and ion-neutral friction. We here determine whether and how this is ach…
