Probing the star-forming ISM with fine structure lines

Cardiff University Cardiff School of Physics and Astronomy

Supersonic turbulent motions are thought to play a major role in the star formation process in galaxies. Theories have suggested that turbulence is responsible for shaping the interstellar medium (ISM), regulating star formation, and even setting the masses of stars as they form in young clusters.

Star Formation Triggered by Colliding Interstellar Clouds

Cardiff University Cardiff School of Physics and Astronomy

CONTEXT. Much of the interstellar gas in a galaxy like the Milky Way is in dense molecular clouds. When these clouds enter a spiral arm, they merge to form larger clouds, and are compressed to higher densities. Read more
