Resolved Properties of Extragalactic Giant Molecular Clouds
Alberto D. Bolatto, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +2
Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) are the major reservoirs of molecular gas in galaxies, and the starting point for star formation. As such, their properties play a key role in setting…
The Gas Temperature of Starless Cores in Perseus
Scott Schnee, Erik Rosolowsky, Jonathan Foster +2
In this paper we study the determinants of starless core temperatures in the Perseus molecular cloud. We use NH3 (1,1) and (2,2) observations to derive core temperatures (T_kin) an…
The Resolved Properties of Extragalactic Giant Molecular Clouds
Alberto D. Bolatto, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +2
We use high spatial resolution observations of CO to systematically measure the resolved size-line width, luminosity-line width, luminosity-size, and the mass-luminosity relations…
The Mass Distribution and Lifetime of Prestellar Cores in Perseus, Serpens, and Ophiuchus
Melissa L. Enoch, Neal J. Evans, Anneila I. Sargent +3
We present an unbiased census of starless cores in Perseus, Serpens, and Ophiuchus, assembled by comparing large-scale Bolocam 1.1 mm continuum emission maps with Spitzer c2d surve…
Structural Analysis of Molecular Clouds: Dendrograms
E. W. Rosolowsky, J. E. Pineda, J. Kauffmann +1
We demonstrate the utility of dendrograms at representing the essential features of the hierarchical structure of the isosurfaces for molecular line data cubes. The dendrogram of a…
