Polytropic models of filamentary molecular clouds: structure, stability and magnetic fields .
Abstract
Recent observations made by the Herschel Space Observatory and the Planck Satellite have shown that molecular clouds are made by networks of filaments, shaped by interstellar turbulence and magnetic fields. We analyse the stability of filamentary molecular clouds with the help of cylindrical polytropic models with helical magnetic fields.
