The dense-gas mass versus star formation rate relation: a misleading linearity?

We model the star formation relation of molecular clumps in dependence of their dense-gas mass when their volume density profile is that of an isothermal sphere, i.e. $\rho_{clump}(r) \propto r^{-2}$. Dense gas is defined as gas whose volume density is higher than a threshold $\rho_{th}=700\,M_{\odo...
