Dust and Gas as Seeds for Metal-Poor Star Formation
arXiv:0810.5069 · doi:10.1017/S1743921308024873
Abstract
I address the issue of dust and gas as seeds for metal-poor star formation by reviewing what we know about star formation in nearby dwarf galaxies and its relationship to the gas and dust. I (try to) speculate on the extent to which processes in nearby galaxies mimic star formation in the early universe.
