Small Deviations from Gaussianity and The Galaxy Cluster Abundance Evolution
In this work, we raise the hypothesis that the density fluctuations field which originates the growth of large scale structures is a combination of two or more distributions, instead of assuming the widely accepted idea that the observed distribution of matter stems from a single Gaussian field produced in the very early universe. By applying the statistical analysis of finite mixture distribut...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Molecular Gas Tracers and Kennicutt-schmidt Laws
We provide a model for how Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) laws, which describe the correlation between star formation rate and gas surface or volume density, depend on the molecular line chosen to trace the gas. We show that, for lines that can be excited at low temperatures, the KS law depends on how the line critical density compares to the median density in a galaxy’s star-forming molecular clouds. ...
متن کاملThe Kennicutt-Schmidt Star Formation Relation at z~2
Recent observations of excited CO emission lines from z ∼ 2 disc galaxies have shed light on the SFR ∝ ρN relation at high z via observed SFR– COJ=2−1 and SFR– COJ=3−2 relations. Here, we describe a novel methodology for utilizing these observations of high-excitation CO to derive the underlying Schmidt (SFR∝ ρN) relationship. To do this requires an understanding of the potential effects of dif...
متن کاملOn the relation between the Schmidt and Kennicutt-Schmidt star formation laws and its implications for numerical simulations
When averaged over large scales, star formation in galaxies is observed to follow the empirical Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) law for surface densities above a constant threshold. While the observed law involves surface densities, theoretical models and simulations generally work with volume density laws (i.e. Schmidt laws). We derive analytic relations between star formation laws expressed in terms o...
متن کاملStudying the spatially resolved Schmidt – Kennicutt law in interacting galaxies : the case of Arp 158
Context. Recent studies have shown that star formation in mergers does not seem to follow the same Schmidt–Kennicutt relation as in spiral disks, presenting a higher star formation rate (SFR) for a given gas column density. Aims. In this paper we study why and how different models of star formation arise. To do so we examine the process of star formation in the interacting system Arp 158 and it...
