Formation of filaments and dense cores during molecular clouds collision

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

On the formation of glycolaldehyde in dense molecular cores

Glycolaldehyde is a simple monosaccharide sugar linked to prebiotic chemistry. Recently, it was detected in a molecular core in the star-forming region G31.41+0.31 at a reasonably high abundance. We investigate the formation of glycolaldehyde at 10 K to determine whether it can form efficiently under typical dense core conditions. Using an astrochemical model, we test five different reaction me...

Dense Cores in Dark Clouds . XIV . N 2 H + ( 1 – 0 ) maps of dense cloud cores

We present results of an extensive mapping survey of N2H (1–0) in about 60 low mass cloud cores already mapped in the NH3(1,1) inversion transition line. The survey has been carried out at the FCRAO antenna with an angular resolution of 54, about 1.5 times finer than the previous ammonia observations made at the Haystack telescope. The comparison between N2H + and NH3 maps shows strong similari...

The Chemistry of Transient Dense Cores in Interstellar Clouds

Molecular Clouds as Ensembles of Transient Cores

We construct models of molecular clouds that are considered as ensembles of transient cores. Each core is assumed to develop in the background gas of the cloud, grow to high density and decay into the background. The chemistry in each core responds to the dynamical state of the gas and to the gas-dust interaction. Ices are deposited on the dust grains in the core’s dense phase, and this materia...
