Dense “ cores ” in Taurus
The interstellar medium is highly dynamic and turbulent. However, little or no attention has been paid in the literature to the implications that this fact has on the validity of at least six common assumptions on the virial theorem (VT), which are as follows. (i) The only role of turbulent motions within a cloud is to provide support against collapse; (ii) the surface terms are negligible comp...
متن کاملStar Formation: Lessons from Taurus
The Taurus molecular cloud complex is the paradigm for quiescent, low-density, isolated star formation. Yet the age distribution of its stellar population indicates that star formation is a rapid and dynamic process, inconsistent with the old picture of magnetically-controlled protostel-lar cloud collapse. Instead, Taurus seems to have formed stars in a manner qualitatively consistent with the ...
متن کاملStudies of dense cores in regions of massive star formation
We report the results of a multitransitional study of four southern molecular clouds in the CS J = 2−1, J = 3−2, J = 5 − 4, J = 7 − 6; CO J = 1 − 0, J = 3 − 2; C34S J = 2 − 1 and C18O J = 1 − 0 lines observed with SEST and CSO telescopes. To analyze the obtained maps we applied a MEM deconvolution technique which improves the resolution significantly, if the signal-to-noise ratio is sufficientl...
متن کاملThe Global Star Formation Law: from Dense Cores to Extreme Starbursts
Active star formation (SF) is tightly related to the dense molecular gas in the giant molecular clouds’ dense cores. Our HCN (measure of the dense molecular gas) survey in 65 galaxies (including 10 ultraluminous galaxies) reveals a tight linear correlation between HCN and IR (SF rate) luminosities, whereas the correlation between IR and CO (measure of the total molecular gas) luminosities is no...

The remarkably filamentary spatial distribution of young stars in the Taurus molecular cloud has significant implications for understanding low-mass star formation in relatively quiescent conditions. The large scale and regular spacing of the filaments suggests that small-scale turbulence is of limited importance, which could be consistent with driving on large scales by flows which produced th...
