Comparing the statistics of interstellar turbulence in simulations and observations - Solenoidal versus compressive turbulence forcing
Context. Density and velocity fluctuations on virtually all scales observed with modern telescopes show that molecular clouds (MCs) are turbulent. The forcing and structural characteristics of this turbulence are, however, still poorly understood.Aims. To shed light on this subject, we study two limiting cases of turbulence forcing in numerical experiments: …
