Metallicity Dependence of Molecular Cloud Hierarchical Structure at Early Evolutionary Stages
The formation of molecular clouds out of H i gas is the first step toward star formation. Its metallicity dependence plays a key role in determining star formation throughout cosmic history. Previous theoretical studies with detailed chemical networks calculate thermal equilibrium states and/or ther...
