Implication of the Velocity Dispersion Scalings on High-mass Star Formation in Molecular Clouds

This paper is aimed at exploring the implications of velocity-dispersion scalings on high-mass star formation in molecular clouds, including the scalings of Larson’s linewidth–size ( σ – R ) and ratio–mass surface density ( ${ \mathcal L }$ – Σ; here ${ \mathcal L }$ = σ / R ^0.5 ). We have systemat...
