Physical structure of the simulated core in the x − y plane. Left and top right: radial profile for the dust temperature, number density and visual extinction are shown along eight different radial cuts on the x − y plane for the simulated core. The profiles for the 1D hydrodynamical model from Keto & Caselli (2010) is indicated by the black dotted line while the dashed-dotted line shows the mean of the eight profiles in the 3D model. Lower right: the greyscale image shows the continuum image of the core at 1.1 mm, while contours indicate 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75% of the peak intensity. The dashed colored lines indicate the direction that the radial profiles on the left were extracted along.
