Star Formation in the Milky Way and Nearby Galaxies

Robert C. Kennicutt, Neal J. Evans

We review progress over the past decade in observations of large-scale star formation, with a focus on the interface between extragalactic and Galactic studies. Methods of measurin…

High-resolution CO and radio imaging of z~2 ULIRGs: extended CO structures, and implications for the universal star formation law

M. S. Bothwell, S. C. Chapman, L. Tacconi +14

We present high spatial resolution (0.4", ~3.5 kpc) PdBI interferometric data on three ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) at z~2: two submillimetre galaxies and one submilli…

Comparison of H-alpha and UV Star Formation Rates in the Local Volume: Systematic Discrepancies for Dwarf Galaxies

Janice C. Lee, Armando Gil de Paz, Christy Tremonti +14

(abridged) Using a complete sample of ~300 star-forming galaxies within 11 Mpc, we evaluate the consistency between star formation rates (SFRs) inferred from the far ultraviolet (F…

Massive-Star Supernovae as Major Dust Factories

Ben E. K. Sugerman, Barbara Ercolano, M. J. Barlow +15

We present late-time optical and mid-infrared observations of the Type-II supernova 2003gd in NGC 628. Mid-infrared excesses consistent with cooling dust in the ejecta are observed…

Star Formation History of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field: Comparison with the HDFN

Rodger I. Thompson, Daniel Eisenstein, Xiaohui Fan +3

We use the NICMOS Treasury and ACS HUDF images to measure the extinction corrected star formation history for 4681 galaxies in the region common to both images utilizing the star f…

Discovery of a Group of Star-Forming Dwarf Galaxies in Abell 1367

Shoko Sakai, Robert Kennicutt, J. M. van der Hulst +1

We describe the properties of a remarkable group of actively star-forming dwarf galaxies and HII galaxies in the Abell 1367 cluster, which were discovered in a large-scale H-alpha…
