Probes of turbulent driving mechanisms in molecular clouds from fluctuations in synchrotron intensity
Probes of turbulent driving mechanisms in molecular clouds from fluctuations in synchrotron intensity
Previous studies have shown that star formation depends on the driving of molecular cloud turbulence, and differences in the driving can produce an order of magnitude difference in the star formation rate. The turbulent driving is characterised by the parameter $ζ$, with $ζ=0$ for compressive, curl-free driving (e.g. accretion or …
