An uncertainty principle for star formation -- V. The influence of dust extinction on star formation rate tracer lifetimes and the inferred molecular cloud lifecycle

Daniel T. Haydon, Yusuke Fujimoto, Mélanie Chevance +3

Recent observational studies aiming to quantify the molecular cloud lifecycle require the use of known 'reference time-scales' to turn the relative durations of different phases of…

The lifecycle of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies

Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Alexander P. S. Hygate +29

It remains a major challenge to derive a theory of cloud-scale ( pc) star formation and feedback, describing how galaxies convert gas into stars as a function of the g…

A fundamental test for stellar feedback recipes in galaxy simulations

Yusuke Fujimoto, Mélanie Chevance, Daniel T. Haydon +2

Direct comparisons between galaxy simulations and observations that both reach scales < 100 pc are strong tools to investigate the cloud-scale physics of star formation and feedbac…

Fast and inefficient star formation due to short-lived molecular clouds and rapid feedback

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Andreas Schruba, Mélanie Chevance +7

The physics of star formation and the deposition of mass, momentum, and energy into the interstellar medium by massive stars (`feedback') are the main uncertainties in modern cosmo…

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…
