Structure analysis of interstellar clouds

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: Context. The Δ-variance analysis is an efficient tool for measuring the structural scaling behaviour of interstellar turbulence in astronomical maps. It has been applied both to simulations of interstellar turbulence and to observed molecular cloud maps. In Paper I we proposed essential improvements to the Δ-variance analysis and tested them on artificial structures with known characteristics.
