Turbulence and Magnetic Field Alignment in Small Molecular Clouds: The Role of Cloud Size, Mass, and Density

In this study, we investigate the relationship between turbulence (Δ V ) and different physical parameters in 22 isolated small molecular clouds and their cores, extending the analysis to a hierarchical scenario from core to cloud. Using ^12 CO line width as a tracer of turbulence, we find that Δ V...
