Shock-induced star formation in a model of the Mice
Star formation plays an important role in the fate of interacting galaxies. To date, most galactic simulations including star formation have used a density-dependent star formation rule designed to approximate a Schmidt law. Here, I present a new star formation rule which is governed by the local rate of energy dissipation in shocks. The new and old rules are compared using self-consistent simu...
متن کاملBow-shock induced star formation in the LMC?
The structure of supergiant shells, in particular of LMC 4, is hard to explain with stochastic self-propagating star formation. A series of supergiant structures lies along the outer edge of the LMC and form a sequence increasing clockwise in age. We have considered the rotation of the LMC and its motion through the halo of the Milky Way and propose that these structures find their origin in st...
متن کاملStar 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 کاملA Plausible Galactic Spiral Pattern and its Rotation Speed
We report calculations of the stellar and gaseous response to a Milky Way mass distribution model including a spiral pattern with a locus as traced by K-band observations, over imposed on the axisymmetric components in the plane of the disk. The stellar study extends calculations from previous work concerning the self-consistency of the pattern. The stellar response to the imposed spiral mass i...
متن کاملStar Formation in a Magnitude-limited Sample of Spiral Galaxies
We have observed a magnitude-limited sample of 78 galaxies chosen from the Revised Shapley-Ames Catalogue with ISOCAM at 10 m and with ISOPHOT at 60 m, 100 m, and 180 m. We have complemented these data with images at JHK. We will compare the normalized intensity and distribution of mid-infrared and far-infrared emission from these galaxies to investigate the correlation of infrared activity wit...
