The dust temperatures of the pre-stellar cores in the ρ Oph main cloud and in other star-forming regions: consequences for the core mass function.
STAMATELLOS D., WHITWORTH A.P. and WARD-THOMPSON D.
Abstract (from CDS):
We generalize our results to the pre-stellar cores in Taurus and in Orion. In Taurus, the ambient radiation field heating the pre-stellar cores is believed to be weaker than that in ρ Oph. Hence, the dust temperatures of the cores in Taurus are expected to be below ∼10 -11 K. In Orion, the radiation field is believed to be 103 times stronger than the standard interstellar radiation field. Based on this assumption, we estimate that the dust temperatures of the pre-stellar cores in Orion are around ∼20 -30 K.
