Ionization compression impact on dense gas distribution and star formation: probability density functions around H II regions as seen by Herschel
Aims. The expansion of hot ionized gas from an H ii region into a molecular cloud compresses the material and leads to the formation of dense continuous layers as well as pillars and globules in the interaction zone. Herschel imaging in the far-infrared (FIR) confirmed the presence of these dense features – potential sites of star-formation – at the edges of H ii regions. This feedback should a...
متن کاملSlow Star Formation in Dense Gas: Evidence and Implications
It has been known for more than 30 years that star formation in giant molecular clouds (GMCs) is slow, in the sense that only ∼ 1% of the gas forms stars every free-fall time. This result is entirely independent of any particular model of molecular cloud lifetime or evolution. Here we survey observational data on higher density objects in the interstellar medium, including infrared dark clouds ...
متن کاملThe Star Formation Rate and Dense Molecular Gas in Galaxies
HCN luminosity is a tracer of dense molecular gas, n(H2) > ∼3 × 10 cm, associated with star-forming giant molecular cloud (GMC) cores. We present the results and analysis of our survey of HCN emission from 65 infrared galaxies including 9 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIGs, LIR > ∼10 L⊙), 22 luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs, 10 L⊙ < LIR < ∼10 L⊙) and 34 normal spiral galaxies with lower IR ...
متن کاملDense Molecular Gas and Star Formation in Nearby Seyfert Galaxies
Abstract. An imaging survey of CO(1−0), HCN(1−0), and HCO(1−0) lines in the centers of nearby Seyfert galaxies has been conducted using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array and the RAINBOW interferometer. Preliminary results reveal that 3 Seyferts out of 7 show abnormally high HCN/CO and HCN/HCO ratios, which cannot occur even in nuclear starburst galaxies. We suggest that the enhanced HCN emission or...
متن کاملEffects of ram pressure on the gas distribution and star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We use high resolution N-body/SPH simulations to study the hydrodynamical interaction between the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the hot halo of the Milky Way. We investigate whether ram-pressure acting on the satellite’s ISM can explain the peculiarities observed in the HI distribution and the location of the recent star formation activity. Due to the present nearly edge-on orientation of th...
