H2 distribution during 2-phase Molecular Cloud Formation

arXiv:1512.03979 · doi:10.1051/eas/1575080

Abstract

We performed high-resolution, 3D MHD simulations and we compared to observations of translucent molecular clouds. We show that the observed populations of rotational levels of H2 can arise as a consequence of the multi-phase structure of the ISM.
