Abstract: | We present the results of very high resolution CDM simulations of galaxy formation designed to follow the formation and evolution of self-gravitating, supergiant star-forming clouds. We find that the mass spectrum of these clouds is identical to that of globular clusters and GMCs; dN/dM ∝ M -1.7 ± 0.1. This revised version was published online in September 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
