The title of Drew’s talk is Astronomical Molecular Cloud Condensation and the Delta Quadrant.
Abstract: In examining giant molecular clouds, inferred condensation times differ from theoretical predictions by orders of magnitude. Two theories, one based on turbulence, the other on electro-magnetic properties, attempt to explain this discrepancy, however, both lack thorough observational evidence. To study this phenomenon we investigate the behavior of a typical cloud, the Delta Quadrant. Our analyses help to better characterize this type of cloud and lend support to the turbulence theory.
