Cloud formation in colliding flows: influence of the choice of cooling function

We study the influence of the choice of cooling function on the formation of molecular clouds in high-resolution three-dimensional simulations of converging flows. We directly compare the results obtained using the simple, parametrized cooling function introduced by Koyama and Inutsuka and used by a...
