… The present work shows that the dust extinction measurements are consistent with a
scenario where the complex density –eld in dark clouds is caused primarily by random
supersonic motions. Such a scenario is appealing, for the simple reason that supersonic
motions have indeed been observed and measured in dark clouds for the last 20 years !
The connection between the observations and … Here we have shown that the shape,
standard deviation, and spectral index of the density distribution, predicted with numerical …
Abstract
Lada et al. have described a method for studying the distribution of dust in dark clouds using infrared imaging surveys. In particular, they show that the method provides some information about the structure of the gas (dust) on scales smaller than their resolution.
