Observational study of MBM12 shows CO-to-H2 conversion factor near galactic average with density-dependent variations, high virial parameters decreasing at small scales, broken power-law mass-size relations indicating external pressure, and magnetic field orientation transition at N(H2) = 4.5e21 cm-
New CO(2-1) observations of 112 clumps in outer Galactic clouds (14-23 kpc) yield velocity dispersion-size and mass-size power laws plus a declining virial parameter trend indicating most clumps are gravitationally unbound.
Interstellar objects may contribute enough baryonic mass to reduce the local dark matter halo density to 0.24 GeV/cm³.
ALMA survey finds 4 starless cores in Orion B North consistent with turbulent collapse simulations; virial analysis indicates Chamaeleon I cores are less bound with external pressure dominating unlike Orion B North and Ophiuchus.
The paper reviews techniques for measuring protostellar accretion, analyzes methodological differences and caveats in comparing observations with simulations, and outlines next steps for a fuller picture.
