empirical scaling relations in molecular clouds linking internal velocity dispersion and mean density to cloud size, read as signs of supersonic turbulence and near-virial balance.

In astrophysics, Larson's laws refers to empirical scaling relations in molecular clouds linking internal velocity dispersion and mean density to cloud size, read as signs of supersonic turbulence and near-virial balance. This meaning comes from Larson (1981) in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
