Cloud Scaling Relations

Cloud Scaling Relations is a theoretical framework in astrophysics that characterizes the empirical correlations between macroscopic physical properties of molecular clouds—such as size, mass, velocity dispersion, and surface density—thereby enabling the systematic interpretation of cloud structure and dynamics across varying spatial scales.
