STRUCTURES member Ralf Klessen investigates interstellar gas clouds, as part of an international cooperation.
New level computer simulations reveal the role of turbulence in interstellar molecular clouds in star formation. In their publication, the authors show how their results allow to draw conclusions how this turbulent movement transitions from the supersonic to subsonic regime
The work of this international research team was led by scientists of the Center for Astronomy of Heidelberg University (ZAH) and of the Australian National University in Canberra. The simulations took place at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre of the Bavarian Academy of Science and Humanities.
