molecular cloud turbulence
(observed turbulence in molecular clouds)
Molecular cloud turbulence
(turbulence in molecular clouds and giant molecular clouds)
can be detected and poses puzzles regarding
its instigation and maintenance, and the role the turbulence might play
in star formation.
Turbulence is observed by analyzing the emission line
width (spectral line shape) of the detectable gas within the clouds
(i.e., tracers, such as carbon monoxide).
Observed molecular cloud turbulence ranges into supersonic.
