Gravity or turbulence? - II. Evolving column density probability distribution functions in molecular clouds

It has been recently shown that molecular clouds do not exhibit a unique shape for the column density probability distribution function (N-PDF). Instead, clouds without star formation seem to possess a lognormal distribution, while clouds with active star formation develop a power-law tail at high c...
