Dense Cores in The Pipe Nebula: An Improved Core Mass Function

Post date: Sep 11, 2009 9:26:10 AM

Improved determination of the CMF of the Pipe Nebula making use of C¹⁸O observations to differentiate between single cores with internal structure and blends of two or more physically distinct cores, superposed along the same line of sight. The Alves et al. 2007 result is confirmed. The paper can be found here.
