Extended Data Fig. 2: Statistical convergence study.

From: The sonic scale of interstellar turbulence

Extended Data Fig. 2

Same as Fig. 2a, but for a single time snapshot (at 5 turbulent crossing times), and the structure functions shown here were computed with different numbers of sampling points: 2 × 108, 2 × 109, 2 × 1010, 2 × 1011, and 2 × 1012 pairs. This demonstrates statistical convergence of the 2nd-order structure function on all relevant scales for a sample size of greater than about 1012 pairs per time snapshot.
