An uncertainty principle for star formation - IV. On the nature and filtering of diffuse emission

Alexander P. S. Hygate, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mélanie Chevance +3

Diffuse emission is observed in galaxies in many tracers across the electromagnetic spectrum, including tracers of star formation, such as H and ultraviolet (UV), and tracers of…

An uncertainty principle for star formation -- III. The characteristic emission time-scales of star formation rate tracers

Daniel T. Haydon, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mélanie Chevance +4

We recently presented a new statistical method to constrain the physics of star formation and feedback on the cloud scale by reconstructing the underlying evolutionary timeline. Ho…

The Star Formation Efficiency per Free Fall Time in Nearby Galaxies

Dyas Utomo, Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy +16

We estimate the star formation efficiency per gravitational free fall time, , from observations of nearby galaxies with resolution matched to the typical size of a Gian…

Cloud-Scale Molecular Gas Properties in 15 Nearby Galaxies

Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Andreas Schruba +16

We measure the velocity dispersion, , and surface density, , of the molecular gas in nearby galaxies from CO spectral line cubes with spatial resolution - pc, matche…

An uncertainty principle for star formation - II. A new method for characterising the cloud-scale physics of star formation and feedback across cosmic history

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Andreas Schruba, Alexander P. S. Hygate +3

The cloud-scale physics of star formation and feedback represent the main uncertainty in galaxy formation studies. Progress is hampered by the limited empirical constraints outside…
