我们分析了剪切在调节星系中星星形成的单个分子云的规模所发挥的作用。这些云是从银河环巡天的13 CO J= 1-0线中选取的。对于每一个云,我们估计的剪切参数描述的能力,密度扰动云内增长。我们发现,几乎所有的分子云考虑,没有证据表明,剪切是发挥重要作用,反对自引力的影响。我们还发现,云的剪切参数不依赖于它们在银河系中的位置。此外,我们没有发现云的剪切参数与它们的星星形成活动的几个指标之间的相关性。没有显着的相关性被发现之间的剪切参数和云的星星形成效率,这是测量使用的大规模的年轻恒星天体的光度比,在红MSX调查,云质量。也有没有显着的相关性之间的剪切参数和其质量的分数,发现在更密集的团块,这是一个代理他们的团块形成效率,也与他们的破碎程度表示的团块每单位质量的数量。我们的研究结果强烈地表明,剪切在影响分子云将其气体转化为致密核心并随后转化为恒星的速率和效率方面只起了很小的作用。
We analyze the role played by shear in regulating star formation in the Galaxy on the scale of individual molecular clouds. The clouds are selected from the 13 CO J= 1–0 line of the Galactic Ring Survey. For each cloud, we estimate the shear parameter which describes the ability of density perturbations to grow within the cloud. We find that for almost all molecular clouds considered, there is no evidence that shear is playing a significant role in opposing the effects of self-gravity. We also find that the shear parameter of the clouds does not depend on their position in the Galaxy. Furthermore, we find no correlations between the shear parameter of the clouds with several indicators of their star formation activity. No significant correlation is found between the shear parameter and the star formation efficiency of the clouds which is measured using the ratio of the massive young stellar objects luminosities, measured in the Red MSX survey, to the cloud mass. There are also no significant correlations between the shear parameter and the fraction of their mass that is found in denser clumps which is a proxy for their clump formation efficiency, nor with their level of fragmentation expressed in the number of clumps per unit mass. Our results strongly suggest that shear is playing only a minor role in affecting the rates and efficiencies at which molecular clouds convert their gas into dense cores and thereafter into stars.
