Understanding the Kinetic Energy Deposition within Molecular Clouds

According to the structures traced by ^13 CO spectral lines within ^12 CO molecular clouds (MCs), we investigate the contributions of their internal gas motions and relative motions to the total velocity dispersions of ^12 CO MCs. Our samples of 2851 ^12 CO MCs harbor a total of 9556 individual ^13...
