What Is Inside Matters: Simulated Green Valley Galaxies Have Centrally Concentrated Star Formation
Tjitske K. Starkenburg, Stephanie Tonnesen, Claire Kopenhafer
In spatially resolved galaxy observations, star formation rate radial profiles are found to correlate with total specific star formation rates. A central depletion in star formatio…
