Disk Galaxy Evolution Along the Hubble Sequence
arXiv:astro-ph/0610607 · doi:10.1111/j.1365-2966.2007.12099.x
Abstract
Galaxy disks are characterised by star formation histories that vary systematically along the Hubble sequence. We study global star formation, incorporating supernova feedback, gas accretion and enriched outflows in disks modelled by a multiphase interstellar medium in a fixed gravitational potential. The star formation histories, gas distributions and chemical evolution can be explained in a simple sequence of models which are primarily regulated by the cold gas accretion history.
