Abstract: We modeled stuff with computers.
[Ryan - abstract based on, All molecular clouds are observed to be turbulent, but
not identical to, AAS abstract] the origin, means of sustenance, and evolution of the turbulence remain debated. One possibility is that stellar feedback injects enough energy into the cloud to drive observed motions on parsec scales. Recent numerical studies of molecular clouds have found that feedback from stars, such as protostellar outflows and winds, injects energy and impacts turbulence. We expanding upon these studies by analyzing magnetohydrodynamic simulations which vary the stellar mass-loss rates and magnetic field strength. We generate synthetic $^{12}$CO(1-0) maps assuming that the simulation is at the distance of the nearby Perseus molecular cloud. By comparing the outputs from different initial conditions and evolutionary times, we identify differences in the synthetic observations and characterize these using common astroastatistics. We quantify the different statistical responses using a variety of metrics proposed in the literature. We find that multiple astrostatistics, such as principle component analysis, velocity component spectrum, and dendrograms, are sensitive to changes in stellar mass-loss rates and/or magnetic field strength. This demonstrates that stellar feedback influences molecular cloud turbulence and can be identified and quantified observationally using such statistics.
