The California Molecular Cloud
We present an analysis of wide-field infrared extinction maps of a region in Perseus just north of the Taurus-Auriga dark cloud complex. From this analysis we have identified a massive, nearby, but previously unrecognized, giant molecular cloud (GMC). Both a uniform foreground star density and measurements of the cloud’s velocity field from CO observations indicate that this cloud is likely a c...
متن کاملReassessing the formation of the inner Oort cloud in an embedded star cluster
We re-examine the formation of the inner Oort comet cloud while the Sun was in its birth cluster with the aid of numerical simulations. This work is a continuation of an earlier study (Brasser, R., Duncan, M.J., Levison, H.F. [2006]. Icarus 184, 59–82) with several substantial modifications. First, the system consisting of stars, planets and comets is treated self-consistently in our N-body sim...
متن کاملMolecular Clouds Towards RCW49 and Westerlund 2; Evidence for Cluster Formation Triggered by Cloud-Cloud Collision
We have made CO(J = 2− 1) observations towards the HII region RCW 49 and its ionizing source, the rich stellar cluster Westerlund 2, with the NANTEN2 sub-mm telescope. These observations have revealed that two molecular clouds in velocity ranges of −11 to +9 km s and 11 to 21 km s respectively, show remarkably good spatial correlations with the Spitzer IRAC mid-infrared image of RCW 49, as well...
متن کاملMolecular cloud regulated star formation in galaxies
We describe a numerical implementation of star formation in disk galaxies, in which the conversion of cooling gas to stars in the multiphase interstellar medium is governed by the rate at which molecular clouds are formed and destroyed. In the model, clouds form from thermally unstable ambient gas and get destroyed by feedback from massive stars and thermal conduction. Feedback in the ambient p...
متن کاملMolecular Cloud Formation in Shock-compressed Layers
We investigate the propagation of a shock wave into a warm neutral medium and cold neutral medium by one-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations with detailed treatment of thermal and chemical processes. Our main result shows that thermal instability inside the shock-compressed layer produces a geometrically thin, dense layer in which a large amount of hydrogen molecules is formed. Linear stabili...
