Formation of Molecular Clouds and Global Conditions for Star Formation
Clare L. Dobbs, Mark R. Krumholz, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes +6
Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) are the primary reservoirs of cold, star-forming molecular gas in the Milky Way and similar galaxies, and thus any understanding of star formation mus…
On the origin of the fundamental metallicity relation and the scatter in galaxy scaling relations
John C. Forbes, Mark R. Krumholz, Andreas Burkert +1
We present a simple toy model to understand what sets the scatter in star formation and metallicity of galaxies at fixed mass. The scatter ultimately arises from the intrinsic scat…
The Star Formation Law in Molecule-Poor Galaxies
Mark R. Krumholz
In this paper, I investigate the processes that regulate the rate of star formation in regions of galaxies where the neutral interstellar medium is predominantly composed of non-st…
The Role of Stellar Feedback in the Dynamics of HII Regions
Laura A. Lopez, Mark R. Krumholz, Alberto D. Bolatto +3
Stellar feedback is often cited as the biggest uncertainty in galaxy formation models today. This uncertainty stems from a dearth of observational constraints as well as the great…
The AGORA High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project
Ji-hoon Kim, Tom Abel, Oscar Agertz +43
We introduce the AGORA project, a comprehensive numerical study of well-resolved galaxies within the LCDM cosmology. Cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with force resolutions of…
Balance among gravitational instability, star formation, and accretion determines the structure and evolution of disk galaxies
John C. Forbes, Mark R. Krumholz, Andreas Burkert +1
Over the past 10 Gyr, star-forming galaxies have changed dramatically, from clumpy and gas rich, to rather quiescent stellar-dominated disks with specific star formation rates lowe…
