Galaxy to a factor of a few higher, although he found these values using CO($1-0$) observations whose sensitivity is lower than our CO($2-1$) data. There is a small difference between the conversion factor for 30 Doradus found in this work and the previously mentioned values found by other studies in the Magellanic clouds. However, one would expect to find a different conversion factor in the clouds of 30 Doradus than in the rest of the clouds of the LMC due to the extreme conditions in the environment, specially the strong radiation fields that photo-dissociate the CO molecule leaving large H$_2$ envelopes untraced by CO.

### Larson’s Laws

Molecular clouds in virial equilibrium follow the empirical power law relation $\sigma_{v} \propto r^{\alpha}$ (Larson 1981). $\alpha$ is generally agreed to be between 0.4–0.5 based on numerous molecular cloud surveys of the Milky Way, and external normal and dwarf Galaxies (Bolatto et al. 2008; Heyer et al. 2009). The observed value of $\alpha$ is oft explained by turbulence (McKee & Ostriker 2007; Lombardi et al. 2010). The velocity dispersion is considered to be a measure of the internal dynamics within the clouds, because the observed line profiles, averaged over a cloud,
