Effective Star Formation Rates for Cosmological Applications
arXiv:astro-ph/9802364 · doi:10.1086/305944
Abstract
Effective star formation rates in tabular form are computed which yield a prescription for the star formation activity in model galaxies as a function of ambient density, metallicity, and stellar feedback. The effects of supernova explosions on the thermal balance of the Interstellar Medium (ISM) and the presence of a multi-phase ISM are explicitly included. The resulting grid of models can be implemented easily in N-body codes for the computation of star formation processes in merging galaxies and cosmological simulations.
