Star formation bursts in isolated spiral galaxies
We study the response of the gaseous component of a galactic disc to the time dependent potential generated by N-body simulations of a spiral galaxy. The results show significant variation of the spiral structure of the gas which might be expected to result in significant fluctuations in the Star Formation Rate (SFR). Pronounced local variations of the SFR are anticipated in all cases. Bursty h...
متن کاملMolecular cloud regulated star formation in galaxies
We describe a numerical implementation of star formation in disk galaxies, in which the conversion of cooling gas to stars in the multiphase interstellar medium is governed by the rate at which molecular clouds are formed and destroyed. In the model, clouds form from thermally unstable ambient gas and get destroyed by feedback from massive stars and thermal conduction. Feedback in the ambient p...
متن کاملMagnetic Fields and Star Formation in Spiral Galaxies
The main observational results from radio continuum and polarization observations about the magnetic field strength and large-scale pattern for face-on and edge-on spiral galaxies are summarized and compared within our sample of galaxies of different morphological types, inclinations, and star formation rates (SFR). We found that galaxies with low SFR have higher thermal fractions/ smaller sync...
متن کاملMolecular cloud formation and magnetic fields in spiral galaxies
We present ongoing hydrodynamic and MHD simulations of molecular cloud formation in spiral galaxies. The hydrodynamic results show the formation of molecular gas clouds where spiral shocks compress atomic gas to high densities. The spiral shocks also produce structure in the spiral arms, provided the gas is cold (< 1000 K). When both hot and cold components of the ISM are modeled, this structur...
متن کاملEnhanced Star Formation - the Importance of Bars in Spiral Galaxies
We have found that amongst an IR-luminous subset of nearby spiral galaxies, nearly all of the systems with IRAS colours and luminosities indicative of enhanced star formation are barred. Radio continuum and IR-spectroscopic results support the hypothesis that this emission originates within the central 2kpc; possibly in a circumnuclear ring. We also find that outer rings are over-represented am...
