Cumulative column density (NH2) along line of sights, excluding ISM and diffuse envelope contributions. The maps show Sgr B2 models with fixed parameters α = 1.35, mmin = 10 M and Sgr B2 mass-size relation, and two values of fDGMF. The concentration of mass into small dense regions reduces the interclump density, as seen from the figures. In the case of fDGMF = 0.8, we also show clump populations with mass-size relations tuned to obtain a volume-filling fraction of μ = 0.01 and μ = 0.1. At a distance to the centre of Sgr B2 of ~8000 pc, 1 arcmin corresponds to a size of ~2.3 pc.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
