What Causes The Formation of Disks and End of Bursty Star Formation?
Philip F. Hopkins, Alexander B. Gurvich, Xuejian Shen +17
As they grow, galaxies can transition from irregular/spheroidal with 'bursty' star formation histories (SFHs), to disky with smooth SFHs. But even in simulations, the direct physic…
