Hierarchical structure of the interstellar molecular clouds and star formation

Properties of the hierarchical structures of interstellar molecular clouds are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the statistical correlations between velocity dispersion and size, and between the magnetic field strength and gas density. We investigate the formation of some hierarchical stru...
