Kinematic Evidence for Propagating Star Formation Induced by Ob Associations
We report the detection of expanding patterns, revealed by Hipparcos proper motions, in some OB associations. The expansion velocities exceed typical internal motions in associations, and suggest that very energetic processes may have been responsible for both the formation of the stars and their initial velocities. Observations of related interstellar gas support this explanation. One of the r...
متن کاملPropagating Star Formation in the Collisional Ring Galaxy Arp 10
Propagating star formation in a collisional ring galaxy Arp 10 is investigated by a complex approach , which includes the broad-and narrow-band photometry, long-slit spectroscopy, and scanning Fabry-Perot spectroscopy. The ionized gas velocity field obtained with best spatial resolution to date indicates a non-isotropic expansion of the outer ring with a maximum velocity 110 km s −1. Strong ver...
متن کاملGalactic porosity and a star formation threshold for the escape of ionising radiation from galaxies
The spatial distribution of star formation within galaxies strongly affects the resulting feedback processes. Previous work has considered the case of a single, concentrated nuclear starburst, and also that of distributed single supernovae (SNe). Here, we consider ISM structuring by SNe originating in spatially distributed clusters having a cluster membership spectrum given by the observed H ii...
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 کاملMemory retrieval as a self-propagating process.
Retrieval of a subset of studied items and the presentation of those items as retrieval cues typically impair retrieval of the other items. Previous research on this self-limiting property of memory retrieval has relied heavily on short retention intervals and similar context between encoding and test. Here, we examined retrieval dynamics also after a prolonged retention interval with different...
