Fig. 3

Mass accretion rate plotted against mass at r = 1 pc. The solid curves represent values evaluated in simulations with different levels of turbulent support, where κ is the ratio of turbulent over gravitational energy. The dashed curve in magenta is the analytical solution for a 104 M⊙ cloud in free fall. The accretion rate with the empirical correction is plotted in dashed curves with corresponding colors. The accretion rate is approximated to be constant at its value at M∗ = 2 × 103 M⊙.
