Triggered Star Formation by Massive Stars
We present our diagnosis of the role that massive stars play in the formation of lowand intermediate-mass stars in OB associations (the λ Ori region, the OriOB1, and LacOB1 associations). We find that the classical T Tauri stars and Herbig Ae/Be stars tend to line up between luminous O stars and brightrimmed or comet-shaped clouds; the closer to a cloud the progressively younger they are. Our p...
متن کاملTidally Triggered Star Formation in Close Pairs of Galaxies: Major and Minor Interactions
We study star formation in a sample of 345 galaxies in 167 pairs and compact groups drawn from the original CfA2 Redshift Survey and from a follow-up search for companions. We construct our sample with attention to including pairs with luminosity contrast |∆mR| ≥ 2. These 57 galaxies with |∆mR| ≥ 2 provide a set of nearby representative cases of minor interactions, a central feature of the hier...
متن کاملMassive star formation in Luminous Infrared Galaxies
We present HST/NICMOS observations of a sample of LIRGs. We show that active star formation appears to be occurring not only in the bright nuclei of these galaxies, but also in luminous super-star clusters and giant H ii regions with ages of up to 20− 40Myr. This population of bright clusters and H ii regions is unprecedented in normal galaxies and emphasizes the effects of the extreme star for...
متن کاملTriggered massive star formation in the vicinity of WR 48a
We utilise Midcourse Space Experiment mid-IR imaging and published data to discuss the (massive) star formation region at galactic longitude ∼305◦, apparently associated with the Wolf Rayet WR 48a and the attendant clusters Danks 1 and 2. A spectacular three lobed wind blown bubble surrounds the aforementioned sources, for which we may infer a minimum age of ∼3 Myr from the presence of the WCL ...
متن کاملTidally-Triggered Star Formation in Close Pairs of Galaxies
We analyze optical spectra of a sample of 502 galaxies in close pairs and n-tuples, separated by ≤ 50h−1kpc. We extracted the sample objectively from the CfA2 redshift survey, without regard to the surroundings of the tight systems; we re-measure the spectra with longer exposures, to explore the spectral characteristics of the galaxies. We use the new spectra to probe the relationship between s...
