The Global Schmidt law in star forming galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Measurements of Hα, H I, and CO distributions in 61 normal spiral galaxies are combined with published far-infrared and CO observations of 36 infrared-selected starburst galaxies, in order to study the form of the global star formation law over the full ...

Anomalous Microwave Emission from Star Forming Regions

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The evidence for microwave emission from spinning dust grains has been strengthened considerably by its detection in a number of discrete astrophysical objects associated with star formation. These detections, in combination with statistical constraints on its presence on large angular scales in the diffuse ISM, have provided strong observational ...

On the Origins of Starburst and Poststarburst Galaxies in Nearby Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 1999
HST WFPC2 images in B (F450W) and I (F814W) have been obtained for three starburst (SB) and two post-starburst (PSB) galaxies in the Coma cluster, and for three such galaxies in the cluster DC2048-52. V (F555W) and I images for an additional PSB galaxy in Coma have been extracted from the archive. Seven of these galaxies were previously classified as E/

Overtone Transition 2ν1 of HCO+ and HOC+: Origin, Radiative Lifetime, Collisional Quenching

open access: yesChemPhysChem, Volume 25, Issue 21, November 4, 2024.
The C−H/O−H stretch vibration overtone of one of the simplest molecular ion isomeric systems HCO+/HOC+ is studied in a cryogenic ion trap experiment. Moreover, our comprehensive “zero background” method enables the determination of radiative lifetimes and select quenching reaction rates at the same time.

Properties of the Hii Regions Derived Using Integral Field Spectroscopy

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Here we review some of our more recent results on the observed properties of Hii regions using Integral Field Spectroscopy. In particular, we illustrate the use of this technique to study in detail the ionization conditions across the nebulae for galactic Hii regions (focused on the Orion Nebula) and the statistical study of large samples of ...

Star-forming galaxies as the origin of diffuse high-energy backgrounds: gamma-ray and neutrino connections, and implications for starburst history [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Star-forming galaxies have been predicted to contribute considerably to the diffuse gamma-ray background as they are guaranteed reservoirs of cosmic rays.

SYNCHRONIZED FORMATION OF STARBURST AND POST-STARBURST GALAXIES IN MERGING CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2010
We propose that synchronized triggering of star formation in gas-rich galaxies is possible during major mergers of cluster of galaxies, based on new numerical simulations of the time evolution of the physical properties of the intracluster medium (ICM) during such a merger event.

Chemical Evolution of the Universe and its Consequences for Gravitational‐Wave Astrophysics

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 536, Issue 2, February 2024.
Population properties of double compact object mergers (especially binary black holes) are sensitive to the metallicity dependent cosmic star formation history. The uncertainty of this quantity cannot be ignored and makes the interpretation of current gravitational wave observations difficult.

The Study of Nebular Emission on Nearby Spiral Galaxies in the IFU Era

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
A new generation of wide‐field emission‐line surveys based on integral field units (IFU) is allowing us to obtain spatially resolved information of the gas‐phase emission in nearby late‐type galaxies, based on large samples of HII regions and full two‐dimensional coverage.

VARIATIONS OF THE STELLAR INITIAL MASS FUNCTION IN THE PROGENITORS OF MASSIVE EARLY-TYPE GALAXIES AND IN EXTREME STARBURST ENVIRONMENTS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We examine variations of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in extreme environments within the formalism derived by Hennebelle & Chabrier. We focus on conditions encountered in progenitors of massive early-type galaxies and starburst regions.
