The 74 pages that link to Molecular cloud, each with the reason it gives.

• Sagittarius B2Narrower topic: Sagittarius B2 is a particularly massive, chemically rich example of this type of cloud.

• Coalsack NebulaRelated: Parts of the Coalsack contain cold material associated with molecular clouds.

• Isocyanic acidBroader topic: HNCO occurs in molecular clouds and helps trace their chemistry.

• Kennicutt–Schmidt lawBroader topic: Dense molecular clouds are the local sites whose aggregate activity underlies galactic star formation.

• Prestellar coreNarrower topic: Prestellar cores form as compact condensations within molecular clouds.

• Rho Ophiuchi cloud complexNarrower topic: The complex is a nearby example of this broader kind of star-forming structure.

• Sub-brown dwarfNarrower topic: Gravitational collapse of cloud fragments can produce isolated sub-brown dwarfs.

• Super star clusterRelated: These clouds supply the dense gas from which super star clusters form.

• Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter ArrayNarrower topic: ALMA detects the molecules and cold material within these stellar nurseries.

• Double ClusterRelated: Molecular clouds provide the material from which open clusters form.

• Interstellar cloudBroader topic: These clouds contain the dense, shielded regions where most stars form.

• Interstellar iceNarrower topic: Its low temperatures and densities allow gas molecules to freeze onto grains.

• MegamaserNarrower topic: Megamaser molecules reside in dense gas whose conditions enable strong radio emission.

• Omega NebulaRelated: The nebula's stars formed within a molecular cloud whose remnants still surround them.

• Trifid NebulaRelated: The Trifid’s dense material includes the cold gas from which stars can form.

• Young stellar objectNarrower topic: Young stellar objects form within collapsing dense regions of these clouds.

• Formation and evolution of stars and galaxiesBroader topic: Stars form when parts of these clouds become gravitationally unstable.

• List of interstellar and circumstellar moleculesBroader topic: Many cataloged molecules form or persist in these cold, shielded regions.

• Messier 7Related: Such clouds provide the raw material from which open clusters form.

• Sculptor GalaxyRelated: Dense molecular gas in NGC 253 supplies the raw material for its starburst.

• Stochastic self-propagating star formation modelRelated: Molecular clouds provide much of the dense gas from which stars form.

• Submillimetre astronomyBroader topic: Its cold gas produces submillimetre lines that map cloud structure and dynamics.

• Westerhout 40Narrower topic: Dense molecular gas borders Westerhout 40’s ionized nebula and supplies material for star formation.
