Star formation in the Perseus molecular cloud: observations of dynamics and comparison to simulations

The relative importance of physical processes occurring on the various scales within molecular clouds is strongly debated, partly due to the lack of systematic cloud-wide observations available until recently. My thesis characterizes the kinematics of star formation across the entire Perseus molec...
