The Earliest Phases of Star Formation (EPoS): a Herschel key project - The thermal structure of low-mass molecular cloud cores [PDF]

, 2013
Context. The temperature and density structure of molecular cloud cores are the most important physical quantities that determine the course of the protostellar collapse and the properties of the stars they form. Nevertheless, density profiles often rely

Giant Molecular Clouds in M31. I. Molecular Cloud Properties [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2007
We present Berkeley Illinois Maryland Association (BIMA) millimeter interferometer observations of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) along a spiral arm in M31. The observations consist of a survey using the compact configuration of the interferometer and follow-up, higher-resolution observations on a subset of the detections in the survey.

Discovery Of A Molecular Outflow in the Haro 6-10 Star-Forming Region [PDF]

, 2007
We present high sensitivity 12CO and 13CO (1-0) molecular line maps covering the full extent of the parsec scale Haro~6-10 Herbig-Haro (HH) flow. We report the discovery of a molecular CO outflow along the axis of parsec-scale HH flow. Previous molecular

Possibilities for Methanogenic and Acetogenic Life in Molecular Clouds

Life
According to panspermia, life on Earth may have originated from life forms transported through space from elsewhere. These life forms could have passed through molecular clouds, where the process of methanogenesis could have provided enough energy to ...

QUANTIFYING OBSERVATIONAL PROJECTION EFFECTS USING MOLECULAR CLOUD SIMULATIONS [PDF]

, 2013
The physical properties of molecular clouds are often measured using spectral-line observations, which provide the only probes of the clouds' velocity structure.

The energetics of molecular clouds. II - The S140 molecular cloud

The Astrophysical Journal, 1978
Techniques of analysis which allow estimates of kinetic temperature, gas density, gas cooling rate, and dust cooling rate are applied to the S140 molecular cloud. Maps of this cloud in various molecular lines are examined which reveal the existence of a strong temperature and density peak near the H-alpha rim and the presence of a strong near-IR source

Insights on molecular cloud structure [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010
AbstractStars form in the densest regions of clouds of cold molecular hydrogen. Measuring structure in these clouds is far from trivial as 99% of the mass of a molecular cloud is inaccessible to direct observation. Over the last decade we have been developing an alternative, more robust density tracer technique based on dust extinction measurements ...

THE LINK BETWEEN TURBULENCE, MAGNETIC FIELDS, FILAMENTS, AND STAR FORMATION IN THE CENTRAL MOLECULAR ZONE CLOUD G0.253+0.016 [PDF]

, 2016
Star formation is primarily controlled by the interplay between gravity, turbulence, and magnetic fields. However, the turbulence and magnetic fields in molecular clouds near the Galactic center may differ substantially compared to spiral-arm clouds ...
