We leverage the 1 pc spatial resolution of the Leike et al. 2020 3D dust map to characterize the three-dimensional structure of nearby molecular clouds ($d \lesssim 400$ pc). We start by "skeletonizing" the clouds in 3D volume density space…

We perform a statistical analysis of experimental fully developed turbulence longitudinal velocity data in the Fourier space. We address the controversial issue of statistical intermittency of spatial Fourier modes by acting on the finite…
