A physically motivated core definition applied to dust emission observations of the Pipe nebula
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 January 2020
Abstract
Dense cores represent a critical stage in the star-formation process, but are not physically well-defined entities. We present a new technique to define core boundaries in observations of molecular clouds based on the physical properties of the cloud medium. Applying this technique to regions in the Pipe nebula, we find that our core boundaries differ from previous analyses, with potentially crucial implications for the statistical properties of the core sample.
