▪ Abstract Turbulence affects the structure and motions of nearly all temperature and density
regimes in the interstellar gas. This two-part review summarizes the observations, theory …

Cosmic magnetism has that exotic “Je ne sais quoi”! Magnetism has been observed in
various objects, located near the edge of the Universe and all the way down to the Milky …

Our current understanding of the physical processes of star formation is reviewed, with
emphasis on processes occurring in molecular clouds like those observed nearby. The …

Numerous cosmological hydrodynamic studies have addressed the formation of galaxies.
Here we choose to study the first stages of galaxy formation, including nonequilibrium …

The origin of the empirical laws of galactic scale star formation is considered in view of the
self-similar nature of interstellar gas and the observation that most local clusters are …

We present a number of statistical tools that show promise for obtaining information on
turbulence in molecular clouds (MCs) and diffuse interstellar medium (ISM). For our tests we …

We investigate the nature and spatial variations of turbulence in the Small Magellanic Cloud
(SMC) by applying several statistical methods on the neutral hydrogen (H i) column density …

This Letter reports results on the statistical analysis of HI turbulence in the Small Magellanic
Cloud (SMC). We use 21 cm channel maps, obtained with the Australia Telescope Compact …

Using data from the Southern Galactic Plane Survey, we have measured the spatial power
spectrum of the interstellar neutral atomic hydrogen in the fourth Galactic quadrant. This …

Context. Far-infrared dust emission has a self-similar structure which reveals the complex
dynamical processes that shape the interstellar medium. The description of the statistical …
