Velocity Field Statistics in Star-forming Regions. I. Centroid Velocity Observations
The probability density functions (pdfs) of molecular line centroid velocity fluctuations, and of line centroid velocity fluctuation differences at different spatial lags, are estimated for several nearby molecular clouds with active internal star formation. The data consist of over 75,000 CO line profiles divided among twelve spatially and/or kinematically distinct regions. These regions range...
متن کاملTurbulent Velocity Structure in Molecular Clouds
We compare velocity structure observed in the Polaris Flare molecular cloud at scales ranging from 0.015 pc to 20 pc to the velocity structure of a suite of simulations of supersonic hydrodynamic and MHD turbulence computed with the ZEUS MHD code. We examine different methods of characterising the structure, including a scanning-beam size-linewidth relation, structure functions, velocity and ve...
متن کاملMolecular Hydrogen in High-Velocity Clouds
We present Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations of interstellar molecular hydrogen (H2) in two Galactic high-velocity clouds (HVCs). Molecular hydrogen absorption is detected in the Magellanic Stream (abundance ∼ 0.3 solar) toward the Seyfert galaxy Fairall 9 in the lowest three rotational states (J = 0− 2) at vLSR = +190 kms , yielding a total H2 column density of log N(H...
متن کاملPulse centroid velocity of the Poynting vector.
The evolution of the pulse centroid velocity of the Poynting vector for both ultrawideband rectangular and ultrashort Gaussian envelope pulses is presented as a function of the propagation distance in a dispersive, absorptive dielectric material. The index of refraction of the material is described by the Lorentz-Lorenz formula in which a single-resonance Lorentz model is used to describe the m...
متن کاملCompact High Velocity Clouds
We summarize the observed properties of the CHVC population, which provide strong evidence for source distances in the range 200– 1000 kpc. At these distances, the population corresponds to strongly dark-matter dominated sub-dwarf galaxies still accreting onto the more massive Local Group systems. Recent searches for faint associated stellar populations have revealed red-giant candidates for wh...
