The CARMA Large Area Star-formation Survey (CLASSy) is a CARMA Key Project which is mapping 5 fields covering about 150 square-arcminutes each in the Perseus (3 fields) and Serpens (2 fields) Molecular Clouds. CLASSy consists of 3 mm interferometric observations with angular resolution, being sensitive to spatial scales between 1000 AU to 3 pc. Particularly, the analysis of the NH(1-0) molecular emission from the filamentary structures found in these star--forming regions constrain theoretical models explaining their origin and evolution. Gas kinematics observations show velocity gradients that suggest possible explanations on how filaments are formed. In addition, from the analysis of the kinematics we carried out a pioneer study of the turbulence in these clouds.Fil: Fernandez Lopez, Manuel. Provincia de Buenos Aires. Gobernación.
