A Simple Law of Star Formation
Paolo Padoan, Troels Haugboelle, AAke Nordlund
We show that supersonic MHD turbulence yields a star formation rate (SFR) as low as observed in molecular clouds (MCs), for characteristic values of the free-fall time divided by t…

The Two States of Star Forming Clouds
David Collins, Alexei G. Kritsuk, Paolo Padoan +4
We examine the effects of self-gravity and magnetic fields on supersonic turbulence in isothermal molecular clouds with high resolution simulations and adaptive mesh refinement. Th…
