Turbulence Sets the Initial Conditions for Star Formation in High-Pressure Environments

Turbulence Sets the Initial Conditions for Star Formation in High-Pressure Environments

Despite the simplicity of theoretical models of supersonically turbulent, isothermal media, their predictions successfully match the observed gas structure and star formation activity within low-pressure (P/k < 10 5 K cm-3) molecular clouds in the solar neighborhood. However, it is unknown whethe...
