The Earliest Stage of Galactic Star Formation

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Star Formation Rate from Dust Infrared Emission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We examine what types of galaxies the conversion formula from dust infrared (IR) luminosity into the star formation rate (SFR) derived by Kennicutt (1998) is applicable to.

The VMC survey - XIV. First results on the look-back time star formation rate tomography of the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We analyse deep images from the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds in the YJKs filters, covering 14 sqrdeg (10 tiles), split into 120 subregions, and comprising the main body and Wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC).

Connecting the Cosmic Star Formation Rate with the Local Star Formation [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2017
Abstract We present a model that unifies the cosmic star formation rate (CSFR), obtained through the hierarchical structure formation scenario, with the (Galactic) local star formation rate (SFR). It is possible to use the SFR to generate a CSFR mapping through the density probability distribution functions commonly used to study the ...

An Empirical Model for the Galaxy Luminosity and Star-Formation Rate Function at High Redshift [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Using the most recent measurements of the ultraviolet (UV) luminosity functions (LFs) and dust estimates of early galaxies, we derive updated dust-corrected star-formation rate functions (SFRFs) at z~4-8, which we model to predict the evolution to higher

Star-Formation Rates of Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Star-formation is one of the key processes that shape the current state and evolution of galaxies. This volume provides a comprehensive presentation of the different methods used to measure the intensity of recent or on-going star-forming activity in galaxies, discussing their advantages and complications in detail.

SHAPING THE DUST MASS-STAR-FORMATION RATE RELATION [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2014
There is a remarkably tight relation between the observationally inferred dust masses and star-formation rates (SFRs) of SDSS galaxies, Mdust $\propto$ SFR$^{1.11}$ (Da Cunha et al. 2010). Here we extend the Mdust-SFR relation to the high end and show that it bends over at very large SFRs (i.e., dust masses are lower than predicted for a given SFR). We

Why Jet Power and Star Formation Are Uncorrelated in Active Galaxies

open access: yesGalaxies
Jet luminosity from active galaxies and the rate of star formation have recently been found to be uncorrelated observationally. We show how to understand this in the context of a model in which powerful AGN jets enhance star formation for up to hundreds ...

Rates of galactic star formation [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1985
A remarkably simple argument successfully accounts for the rate of star formation in different galaxies. The snag is that the timescale is uncomfortably short.
