Do Giant Molecular Clouds Care About the Galactic Structure? [PDF]

, 2014
We investigate the impact of galactic environment on the properties of simulated giant molecular clouds formed in a M83-type barred spiral galaxy. Our simulation uses a rotating stellar potential to create the grand design features and resolves down to 1.
