The Protostellar Luminosity Function

open access: yes, 2011
The protostellar luminosity function (PLF) is the present-day luminosity function of the protostars in a region of star formation. It is determined using the protostellar mass function (PMF) in combination with a stellar evolutionary model that provides ...

Suppression of Star Formation in Galaxy Pairs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the suppression of star formation in galaxy pairs based on the isolated galaxy pair sample derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey survey.

A spectroscopic study of the merging dwarf galaxy PGC 007782

open access: yesBibechana
We did a detailed spectroscopic study of PGC 007782, an interacting emission type dwarf galaxy. This study utilized the optical spectrum of emission lines to explore the system of interacting dwarf galaxies.

Molecular Star Formation Rate Indicators in Galaxies

open access: yes, 2008
We derive a physical model for the observed relations between star formation rate (SFR) and molecular line (CO and HCN) emission in galaxies, and show how these observed relations are reflective of the underlying star formation law.

Learning the Universe: GalactISM Simulations of Resolved Star Formation and Galactic Outflows across Main-sequence and Quenched Galactic Environments

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a suite of six high-resolution chemodynamical simulations of isolated galaxies, spanning observed disk-dominated environments on the star-forming main sequence, as well as quenched, bulge-dominated environments.

Galactic Star Formation Rates

open access: yes, 2019
The interstellar medium (ISM) is the heart of the cosmic evolution, where the cosmic baryonic cycle ends with star formation and begins again by stellar feedback. Therefore, star formation rates (SFRs) are a critical property to understand galaxy formation and evolution.

The specific star formation rate of high redshift galaxies: the case for two modes of star formation

open access: yes, 2010
We study the specific star formation rate (SSFR) and its evolution at $z\gtsim 4$, in models of galaxy formation, where the star formation is driven by cold accretion flows.

The Rate of Star Formation in the Galaxy.

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1959
A method is described for obtaining time sequences of stellar configurations automatically by means of highspoed digital computers. The time- dependent differential equations of stellar structure are replaced by secondorder difference equations. These non-linear difference equations, together with the boundary conditions, are solved by an iterative ...

Delayed star formation in high-redshift stream-fed galaxies

open access: yes, 2013
We propose that star formation is delayed relative to the inflow rate in rapidly-accreting galaxies at very high redshift (z > 2) because of the energy conveyed by the accreting gas.

Lyman Continuum Leakers at z > 3 in the GOODS-S Field: Starburst or Not?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We investigate the star-forming properties of 23 Lyman continuum (LyC) leakers at z > 3 in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-South field based on a systematic review of LyC observations from the literature.
