Theory of Star Formation
We review current understanding of star formation, outlining an overall theoretical framework and the observations that motivate it. A conception of star formation has emerged in which turbulence plays a dual role, both creating overdensities to initiate gravitational contraction or collapse, and countering the effects of gravity in these overdense regions. The key dynamical processes involved ...
متن کاملThe evolution of the star formation rate function and cosmic star formation rate density of galaxies at z ̃
We investigate the evolution of the galaxy star formation rate function (SFRF) and cosmic star formation rate density (CSFRD) of z ∼ 1–4 galaxies, using cosmological smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations and a compilation of ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR) and Hα observations. These tracers represent different populations of galaxies with the IR light being a probe of objects with hi...
متن کاملStar Formation Efficiencies and Star Cluster Formation
Starbursts produce large numbers of Young Star Clusters (YSCs). Multi-color photometry in combination with a dedicated SED analysis tool allows to derive ages, metallicities, EB−V, and masses including 1σ uncertainties for individual clusters and, hence, mass functions for YSC systems. The mass function, known to be Gaussian for old Globular Cluster (GC) systems, is still controversial for YSC ...

متن کاملOptical Star-Formation Rate Indicators
Using integrated optical spectrophotometry for 412 star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 0, and fiber-aperture spectrophotometry for 120, 846 SDSS galaxies at z ∼ 0.1, we investigate the Hα λ6563, Hβ λ4861, [O ii] λ3727, and [O iii] λ5007 nebular emission lines and the U -band luminosity as quantitative star-formation rate (SFR) indicators. We demonstrate that the extinction-corrected Hα λ6563 luminosit...
