Star Formation Thresholds in Galactic Disks
We report the first results of a detailed study of the star formation law in a sample of 32 nearby spiral galaxies with well-measured rotation curves, HI and H2 (as traced by CO) surface density profiles, and new Hα CCD photometry. In this paper we present an atlas of Hα images and radial surface brightness profiles and describe a surface-density threshold in the star formation law. Prominent b...
متن کاملGalactosynthesis: Halo Histories, Star Formation, and Disks
We investigate the effects of a variety of ingredients that must enter into a realistic model for disk-galaxy formation, focusing primarily on the Tully-Fisher (TF) relation and its scatter in several wavebands. In particular, we employ analytic distributions for halo-formation redshifts and halo spins, empirical star-formation rates and initial mass functions, realistic stellar populations, an...
متن کاملA Guide to Comparisons of Star Formation Simulations with Observations
We review an approach to observation-theory comparisons we call “Taste-Testing.” In this approach, synthetic observations are made of numerical simulations, and then both real and synthetic observations are “tasted” (compared) using a variety of statistical tests. We first lay out arguments for bringing theory to observational space rather than observations to theory space. Next, we explain tha...
متن کاملProspects for Detecting Accretion Disks Associated with Massive Star Formation
PROSPECTS FOR DETECTING ACCRETION DISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MASSIVE STAR FORMATION Ed Churchwell University of Wisconsin Abstract It is argued that ALMA should be able to detect accretion disks associated with massive star formation during the rapid accretion phase via free-free emission from a shock-ionized envelope and via thermal dust emission after accretion ceases.
متن کاملStar Formation in Galaxies with Large Lower Surface Brightness Disks
We present B, R, and Hα imaging data of 19 large disk galaxies whose properties are intermediate between classical low surface brightness galaxies and ordinary high surface brightness galaxies. We use data taken from the Lowell 1.8m Perkins telescope to determine the galaxies’ overall morphology, color, and star formation properties. Morphologically, the galaxies range from Sb through Irr and i...
