Chapter
Cosmological Evolution of Supergiant Star-Forming Clouds
Abstract
We present the results of very high resolution CDM simulations of galaxy formation designed to follow the formation and evolution of self-gravitating, supergiant star-forming clouds. We find that the mass spectrum of these clouds is identical to that of globular clusters and GMCs; d N/d M ∝ M−1.7±0.1.
