    • The Angular Momentum of Magnetized Molecular Cloud Cores: A Two-Dimensional-Three-Dimensional Comparison 

      Dib, Sami; Hennebelle, Patrick; Pineda, Jaime E.; Csengeri, Timea; Bontemps, Sylvain; Audit, Edouard; Goodman, Alyssa (Institute of Physics Publishing, Inc., 2010)
      In this work, we present a detailed study of the rotational properties of magnetized and self-gravitating dense molecular cloud cores formed in a set of two very high resolution three-dimensional molecular cloud simulations ...

    • The Dynamics of Dense Cores in the Perseus Molecular Cloud II: the Relationship between Dense Cores and the Cloud 

      Kirk, Helen; Pineda, Jaime E.; Johnstone, Doug; Goodman, Alyssa (Institute of Physics Publishing, Inc., 2010)
      We utilize the extensive datasets available for the Perseus molecular cloud to analyze the relationship between the kinematics of small-scale dense cores and the larger structures in which they are embedded. The kinematic ...

    • Star Formation in the Taurus filament L 1495: from Dense Cores to Stars 

      Schmalzl, Markus; Kainulainen, Jouni; Quanz, Sascha P.; Alves, João; Goodman, Alyssa; Henning, Thomas; Launhardt, Ralf; Pineda, Jaime E.; Román-Zúñiga, Carlos G. (Institute of Physics Publishing, Inc., 2010)
      We present a study of dense structures in the L1495 filament in the Taurus Molecular Cloud and examine its star-forming properties. In particular we construct a dust extinction map of the filament using deep near-infrared ...
