On the functional form of the universal star-formation law
(The American Astronomical Society, 2015)
We study the functional form of the star-formation law using the Vaschy–Buckingham Pi theorem. We find that it should
have the form Sµ S ˙ G
L gas
3 2, where L is a characteristic length that is related to an integration ...

The extended law of star formation: the combined role of gas and stars
(Oxford University Pres, 2017)
We present a model for the origin of the extended law of star formation in which the surface density of star formation (Sigma(SFR)) depends not only on the local surface density of the gas (Sigma(g)) but also on the stellar ...
The interstellar medium and star formation in local galaxies: variations of the star formation law in simulations
(The American Astronomical Society., 2014)
We use the adaptive mesh refinement code Enzo to model the interstellar medium (ISM) in isolated local disk
galaxies. The simulation includes a treatment for star formation and stellar feedback. We get a highly ...
Unveiling the role of galactic rotation on star formation
(The American Astronomical Society, 2016-11-10)
We study the star formation process at galactic scales and the role of rotation through numerical simulations of spiral and starburst galaxies using the adaptive mesh refinement code Enzo. We focus on the study of three ...
A Law for Star Formation in Galaxies
(2011)
We study the galactic-scale triggering of star formation. We find that the largest mass-scale not stabilized by rotation, a well defined quantity in a rotating system and with clear dynamical meaning, strongly correlates ...
The VMC Survey. XXII. Hierarchical Star Formation in the 30 Doradus-N158-N159-N160 Star-forming Complex
(IOP Publishing, 2017-02)
We study the hierarchical stellar structures in a ∼1.5 deg2 area covering the 30 Doradus-N158-N159-N160 star-forming complex with the VISTA Survey of Magellanic Clouds. Based on the young upper main-sequence stars, we find ...
