The formation of star clusters – II. 3D simulations of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in molecular clouds

We present a series of decaying turbulence simulations that represent a cluster-forming clump within a molecular cloud, investigating the role of magnetic fields on the formation of potential star-forming cores. We present an exhaustive analysis of numerical data from these simulations that include a compilation of all of the distributions of physical properties that characterize bound cores – including their masses, radii, mean densities, …
