Numerical studies of collapsing interstellar clouds
Numerical simulation of the structure and evolution of interstellar clouds was conducted. Steps were taken toward an integrated treatment of the dynamical, thermal, and chemical processes entering model calculations, and a detailed study was made of radiative transfer in molecular lines to allow model predictions to be tested against empirical data. It is shown that the shapes of molecular lines are sensitive to details of the cloud structure and evolutionary state and are thus useful in inferring the cloud density, temperature, chemical composition, age, and initial conditions. The calculations have successfully reproduced and explained several observed cloud properties, including abundances of complex molecular species and the apparent depletion of CO in dense cores
