Probing recent star formation with absorption-line strengths in hierarchical models and observations
S. C. Trager, R. S. Somerville
Stellar population parameters derived from spectral line-strengths provide a powerful probe of galaxy properties and formation histories. We implement the machinery for extracting…
Characterizing star formation activity in infrared dark cloud MSXDC G048.65-00.29
Matthijs H. D. van der Wiel, Russell F. Shipman
Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs), condensed regions of the ISM with high column densities, low temperatures and high masses, are suspected sites of star formation. Thousands of IRDCs h…
Void Hierarchy and Cosmic Structure
Rien van de Weygaert, Ravi Sheth
Within the context of hierarchical scenarios of gravitational structure formation we describe how an evolving hierarchy of voids evolves on the basis of {\em two} processes, the {\…
On the axis ratio of the stellar velocity ellipsoid in disks of spiral galaxies
P. C. van der Kruit, R. de Grijs
The spatial distribution of stars in a disk of a galaxy can be described by a radial scale length and a vertical scale height. The ratio of these two scale parameters contains info…
