Q:  Can you compute the Jeans' mass for gas with these properties?

        If we plug the measured values for rho, mu, T, into the formula 

                           1.5                  0.5
               [  5 k T   ]         [   3      ]
         M  =  [----------]     *   [----------]
               [  G mu mH ]         [ 4 pi rho ]


        we find

 
              M  =  7.5  x  10^(30) kg   

                 =  3.8  solar masses



  Q:  Look in the table for the actual mass estimates for these clumps.
            What is their fate?


 
         Table 4 of Shimajiri et al. shows measured clump masses which
                range from 51 to 320 solar masses.

         Since the actual clump masses are larger than the Jeans' mass,
                they will collapse.
