Cloud Core

High-resolution mm continuum observations are especially well suited to detect clumpy structures in molecular clouds. In this paper we concentrate on the Mon R2 cloud core which is associated with a cluster of IR sources. Walker et al. (1990) made a 1.3 mm map with 30″ resolution. They found an unresolved and elongated structure extending from NE to SW. Here, we discuss high-resolution continuum maps at 870 and 1300 µm showing a rich clumpy structure on the scale of several 10 arcsec. The clumps are probably intimately linked to the star formation process in Mon R2.

Chemical Stratification

The small, thin diffuse and translucent molecular clouds are excellent laboratories for studying the ways in which small—scale structure and interstellar chemistry affect each other. Variations of density or column density and chemical stratification can be found on scales as small as 0.01 pc. The origin of such structures and the evolutionary states of small clouds remain elusive.

Small Scale Structure

The interstellar medium shows turbulence whose velocity and density spectra are surprisingly like a Kolmogoroff law, in spite of the fact that the turbulence is generated mainly by microscopic explosions, rather than a cascade of energy from larger to smaller scales.
