Column Density Probability Distribution Functions in Turbulent Molecular Clouds: A Comparison between Theory and Observations
The one-point statistics of column density distributions of turbulent molecular cloud models are investigated and compared with observations. In agreement with the observations, the number N of pixels with surface density Σ is distributed exponentially N(Σ) ∼ exp(−Σ/Σ0) in models of driven compressible supersonic turbulence. However, in contrast to the observations, the exponential slope define...
متن کاملThe “true” Column Density Distribution in Star-forming Molecular Clouds
We use the COMPLETE Survey’s observations of the Perseus star-forming region to assess and intercompare three methods for measuring column density in molecular clouds: near-infrared extinction mapping; thermal emission mapping in the far-IR; and mapping the intensity of CO isotopologues. Overall, the structures shown by all three tracers are morphologically similar, but important differences ex...
متن کاملEfficient Estimation of the Density and Cumulative Distribution Function of the Generalized Rayleigh Distribution
The uniformly minimum variance unbiased (UMVU), maximum likelihood, percentile (PC), least squares (LS) and weighted least squares (WLS) estimators of the probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function are derived for the generalized Rayleigh distribution. This model can be used quite effectively in modelling strength data and also modeling general lifetime data. It has...
متن کاملA new probability density function in earthquake occurrences
Although knowing the time of the occurrence of the earthquakes is vital and helpful, unfortunately it is still unpredictable. By the way there is an urgent need to find a method to foresee this catastrophic event. There are a lot of methods for forecasting the time of earthquake occurrence. Another method for predicting that is to know probability density function of time interval between earth...
متن کاملSaposins: structure, function, distribution, and molecular genetics.
Saposins A, B, C, and D are small heat-stable glycoproteins derived from a common precursor protein, prosaposin. These mature saposins, as well as prosaposin, activate several lysosomal hydrolases involved in the metabolism of various sphingolipids. All four saposins are structurally similar to one another including placement of six cysteines, a glycosylation site, and conserved prolines in ide...
