Modeling mass functions of clumps formed during the early MC evolution

Abstract

The statistical approach for description of molecular cloud substructure, proposed by Donkov, Veltchev and Klessen (2011, 2012), allows for alternative models, operating with different type of objects: an ensemble of clumps or a larger cloudlet. We demonstrate briefly the predictive power of both models, applied to molecular emission and dust extinction studies of Galactic clouds.
