Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulence-driven Diffusion in Protoplanetary Disks: Chemical Effects in the Outer Regions
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that diffusion in the vertical direction can greatly affect column densities of many molecules, increasing them by up to 2 orders of magnitude, while diffusion does not affect the ionization fraction of the disk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure Function Scaling of a 2MASS Extinction Map of Taurus
TL;DR: The scaling exponents of the structure functions of the extinction map follow Boldyrev's velocity structure function scaling of supersonic turbulence in the Taurus molecular cloud complex as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-Mass Clumps in TMC-1: Scaling Laws in the Small-Scale Regime
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present new observational data on the small-scale structure of the Taurus molecular cloud 1 (TMC-1) in the regime of 0.02-0.04 pc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heating of Molecular-Hydrogen Clouds by Cosmic Rays and X-Rays
Journal ArticleDOI
HiRes DECONVOLVED SPITZER IMAGES OF 89 PROTOSTELLAR JETS AND OUTFLOWS: NEW DATA ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE OUTFLOW MORPHOLOGY*
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution deconvolution algorithm, HiRes, was used to improve the visualization of spatial morphology by enhancing resolution (to subarcsecond levels in the IRAC bands) and removing the contaminating side lobes from bright sources.
