Supersonic Turbulence in the Perseus Molecular Cloud
We compare the statistical properties of J=1→0 CO spectra observed in the Perseus Molecular Cloud with synthetic J=1→0 CO spectra, computed solving the non–LTE radiative transfer problem for a model cloud obtained as solutions of the three dimensional magneto–hydrodynamic (MHD) equations. The model cloud is a randomly forced super–Alfvénic and highly super–sonic turbulent isothermal flow. The p...

We compute the structure function scaling of the integrated intensity images of two J=1-0 CO maps of Taurus and Perseus. The scaling exponents of the structure functions follow the velocity scaling of super–sonic turbulence, suggesting that turbulence plays an important role in the fragmentation of cold interstellar clouds. The data also allows to verify the validity of the two basic assumption...
متن کاملDust Emission from the Perseus Molecular Cloud
Using far-infrared emission maps taken by IRAS and Spitzer and a near-infrared extinction map derived from 2MASS data, we have made dust temperature and column density maps of the Perseus molecular cloud. We show that the emission from transiently heated very small grains (VSGs) and the big grain dust emissivity vary as a function of extinction and dust temperature, with higher dust emissivitie...
متن کاملThe structure and dynamics of the dense cores in the Perseus molecular cloud complex
We have produced wide-field (>∼0.1 deg2) images of the molecular gas around the dense cores observed by Ladd et al. (1994) in the Perseus cloud complex in various CO (CO(1–0), 13CO(1–0), C18O(1–0)) and CS (CS(2–1), C34S(2–1)) isotopomers, and N2H(1–0), using the 16-element focal plane array operating at a wavelength of 3 mm at the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory. We also performed mosa...
متن کاملSupersonic Random Flows in the Perseus Molecular Cloud
We compare the statistical properties of J=1→0 CO spectra observed in the Perseus Molecular Cloud with synthetic J=1→0 CO spectra from a 5 pc model cloud. The synthetic spectra are computed solving the non–LTE radiative transfer problem for a model cloud obtained as solutions of the 3–D magneto–hydrodynamic (MHD) equations in both the highly supersonic and super–Alfvénic regimes of random flows...
