What is a GMC? Are observers and simulators discussing the same star-forming clouds?

Hsi-An Pan Yusuke Fujimoto Elizabeth J. Tasker Erik Rosolowsky Dario Colombo Samantha M. Benincasa James Wadsley

MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 453(3) 3082-3099 Nov 2015 [Refereed]

As both simulations and observations reach the resolution of the star-forming molecular clouds, it becomes important to clarify if these two techniques are discussing the same objects in galaxies. We compare clouds formed in a high-resolution gala...

Isolating signatures of major cloud-cloud collisions using position-velocity diagrams

T. J. Haworth E. J. Tasker Y. Fukui K. Torii J. E. Dale K. Shima K. Takahira A. Habe K. Hasegawa

MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY 450(1) 10-20 Jun 2015 [Refereed]

Collisions between giant molecular clouds are a potential mechanism for triggering the formation of massive stars, or even super star clusters. The trouble is identifying this process observationally and distinguishing it from other mechanisms. We...
