Feedback, Disk Self-regulation and Galaxy Formation

Abstract

Self-regulation of star formation in disks is controlled by two dimensionless parameters: the Toomre parameter for gravitational instability and the porosity of the interstellar medium to supernova remnant-heated gas. An interplay between these leads to expressions for the gas fraction and star formation efficiency in disks, and to a possible explanation of the Tully-Fisher relation. I further develop feedback arguments that arise from the impact of massive star formation and death on protogalaxies in order to account for the characteristic luminosity of a galaxy and for early winds from forming spheroids.
