Measuring the fractal structure of interstellar clouds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 August 2017
Abstract
To study the structure of interstellar clouds we used the so-called perimeter-area relation to estimate fractal dimensions. We studied the reliability of the method by applying it to artificial fractals and discuss some of the problems and pitfalls. Results for two different cloud types (high-velocity clouds (HVCs) and infrared cirrus) are summarized. We find dimensions 1.2<D<1.55, somewhat higher than found in previous, similar studies.
