DETERMINING STAR FORMATION RATES FOR INFRARED GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 Accepted by ApJ. Revised in proof to strengthen caveats about the extrapolation of these IR templates above L(TIR)>2e12, without suitable local purely starforming template galaxies above this luminosity. Source includes two machine-readable tables of template spectra SEDs, or download the tables from http://mingus.as.arizona.edu/~bjw/ir_templates/

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We use a suite of 3D simulations of star-forming molecular clouds, with and without stellar feedback, magnetic fields, and driven turbulence, to study the compression and expansion rates of the gas as functions of density.

The Reliability of [C II] as a Star Formation Rate Indicator
Open Astronomy, 2011 We present a calibration of the star formation rate (SFR) as a function of the [C II] 157.74 μm luminosity for a sample of 24 star-forming galaxies in the nearby universe.

The Earliest Stage of Galactic Star Formation
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Using a recently developed technique to estimate gas temperatures ( T _SF ) in star-forming regions from large photometric surveys, we propose a diagram, analogous to the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram for individual stars, to probe the evolution of ...

Variations in the Galactic star formation rate and density thresholds for star formation [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2012 The conversion of gas into stars is a fundamental process in astrophysics and cosmology. Stars are known to form from the gravitational collapse of dense clumps in interstellar molecular clouds, and it has been proposed that the resulting star formation rate is proportional to either the amount of mass above a threshold gas surface density, or the gas ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 1959 It is assumed that the rate of star formation for population I varies with a power n of the density of interstellar gas and that the initial luminosity function is time-independent. Direct evidence on the value of n is found in the relative distribution, perpendicular to the galactic plane, of gas and young objects.

Are star formation rates of galaxies bimodal? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2017 Abstract Star formation rate (SFR) distributions of galaxies are often assumed to be bimodal with modes corresponding to star-forming and quiescent galaxies, respectively. Both classes of galaxies are typically studied separately, and SFR distributions of star-forming galaxies are commonly modelled as lognormals. Using both observational
