Table 2
Physical parameters of the two clouds considered in this study.
| Cloud A | Cloud B | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of SPH particles | 237 | 287 |
| Total mass (M⊙)a | 37 | 45 |
| Mean radius (pc) | 0.33 | 0.29 |
| Velocity dispersion (km s−1) | 1.4 | 0.7 |
| Virial parameterb | 20.0 | 4.0 |
| Median Tgas (K) | 12.0 | 11.0 |
| Median nH (cm−3) | 4 × 104 | 7 × 104 |
Notes. These parameters are those obtained at the peak density of
each clouds. (a)
The total mass is obtained by multiplying the number of SPH
particles that compose each cloud by the individual particle mass
0.156 M⊙.
(b) The
virial parameter of each cloud has been estimated by
(Bertoldi & McKee 1992).
