Scientific paper

We investigate the effect of driven, supersonic, magnetized, isothermal turbulence on the structure of molecular clouds. While turbulence can support the cloud globally, it promotes local collapse. Large or small scale driving leads to clustered or isolated core distributions. Magnetic fields that cannot statically support the cloud do not change the basic results, although they act as an agent to transfer energy down to smaller scales.
