Gravoturbulent Star Formation: Effects of the Equation of State on Stellar Masses
R. S. Klessen, M. Spaans, A. -K. Jappsen
Stars form by gravoturbulent fragmentation of interstellar gas clouds. The supersonic turbulence ubiquitously observed in Galactic molecular gas generates strong density fluctuatio…
The Opacity of Spiral Galaxies from Counts of Distant Background Galaxies
B. W. Holwerda, R. A. Gonzalez, R. J. Allen +1
We have applied the "Synthetic Field Method" on a sample of ~20 nearby galaxies in order to determine the opacity of their disks. We present preliminary results on the radial depen…
Automating the Synthetic Field Method:Application to Sextans A
Benne W. Holwerda, Ronald J. Allen, Pieter C. van der Kruit
We have automated the ``Synthetic Field Method'' developed by Gonzalez et al.(1998) and used it to measure the opacity of the ISM in the Local Group dwarf galaxy Sextans A by using…
