Investigating the Young Stellar Populations and Hierarchies in Nearby Galaxies with the UVIT. III. Evidence for a Largest Scale of Correlated Stellar Structures and a Non-universal Fractal Dimension
Gairola Shashank, Smitha Subramanian, Shyam H. Menon +5
Scale-free turbulent motions, gravitational collapse and galactic dynamics govern galactic-scale, hierarchical organization of star formation (SF) within galaxies. Past studies sug…
Investigating the young stellar populations and hierarchies in nearby galaxies with the UVIT. II. Presenting the properties of ~25,000 UV-detected star-forming clumps
Gairola Shashank, Smitha Subramanian, Chayan Mondal +2
Studying young stellar populations within galaxies can help refine our understanding of recent star formation in galaxies and their evolution. With this motivation, we present a ca…
A FUV-optical approach for studying hierarchical star formation in nearby galaxies with UVIT
Sanal Ananthu, Gairola Shashank, Smitha Subramanian +4
Young star-forming clumps (SFCs) emit strongly in the ultraviolet (UV), making UV imaging ideal for detecting them. The Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) onboard AstroSat, with…
Tracing Hierarchical Star Formation out to Kiloparsec Scales in Nearby Spiral Galaxies with UVIT
Gairola Shashank, Smitha Subramanian, Sreedevi M. +5
Molecular clouds fragment under the action of supersonic turbulence & gravity which results in a scale-free hierarchical distribution of star formation (SF) within galaxies. Recent…
