The Evolution of Molecular Clouds: Turbulence-regulated Global Radial Collapse

The star formation efficiency (SFE) measures the proportion of molecular gas converted into stars, while the star formation rate (SFR) indicates the rate at which gas is transformed into stars. Here we propose such a model in the framework of a turbulence-regulated global radial collapse in molecula...
