A model for the onset of self-gravitation and star formation in molecular gas governed by galactic forces: I. Cloud-scale gas motions
Modern extragalactic molecular gas surveys now reach the scales of star-forming giant molecular clouds (GMCs, 20-50 pc). Systematic variations in GMC properties with galaxy environment imply that clouds are not universally self-gravitating objects, decoupled from their surroundings. Here we reexamin...
