Coevolution of Giant Molecular Clouds, Filaments, and Clumps as a Function of the Dense Gas Mass Fraction

Coevolution of Giant Molecular Clouds, Filaments, and Clumps as a Function of the Dense Gas Mass Fraction

We investigate the evolutionary dynamics with archival continuum and line data of 27 giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in the Milky Way, focusing on their influence on star formation. Examining the dense gas mass fraction (DGMF) among the GMCs, we categorize them into low-DGMF (DGMF < 20%), medium-DG...
