On the Functional Form of the Universal Star Formation Law
Andres Escala
We study the functional form of the star formation law, using the Vaschy-Buckingham Pi theorem. We find that that it should have a form $\rm \dotΣ_{\star} \propto \sqrt{\frac{G}{L}…

The Interstellar Medium and Star Formation in Local Galaxies: Variations of the Star Formation Law in Simulations
Fernando Becerra, Andres Escala
We use the Adaptive Mesh Refinement code Enzo to model the interstellar medium in isolated local disk galaxies. The simulation includes a treatment for star formation and stellar f…
