Massive Star Cluster Formation and Destruction in Luminous Infrared Galaxies in GOALS

S. T. Linden, A. S. Evans, J. Rich +16

We present the results of a {\it Hubble Space Telescope} ACS/HRC FUV, ACS/WFC optical study into the cluster populations of a sample of 22 Luminous Infrared Galaxies in the Great O…

The Nature of Turbulence in the LITTLE THINGS Dwarf Irregular Galaxies

Erin Maier, Bruce G. Elmegreen, Deidre A. Hunter +2

We present probability density functions and higher order (skewness and kurtosis) analyses of the galaxy-wide and spatially-resolved HI column density distributions in the LITTLE T…

Turbulence and Star Formation in a Sample of Spiral Galaxies

Erin Maier, Li-Hsin Chien, Deidre A. Hunter

We investigate turbulent gas motions in spiral galaxies and their importance to star formation in far outer disks, where the column density is typically far below the critical valu…

Gas-Phase Oxygen Gradients in Strongly Interacting Galaxies: I. Early-Stage Interactions

David S. N. Rupke, Lisa J. Kewley, L. -H. Chien

A consensus is emerging that interacting galaxies show depressed nuclear gas metallicities compared to isolated star-forming galaxies. Simulations suggest that this nuclear underab…

Dynamically-Driven Star Formation In Models Of NGC 7252

Li-Hsin Chien, Joshua Edward Barnes

We present new dynamical models of the merger remnant NGC 7252 which include star formation simulated according to various phenomenological rules. By using interactive software to…

Star Formation History In Merging Galaxies

Li-Hsin Chien

Galaxy interactions are known to trigger starbursts. Young massive star clusters formed in interacting galaxies and mergers may become young globular clusters. The ages of these cl…
