On the relation between the Schmidt and Kennicutt-Schmidt star formation laws and its implications for numerical simulations

Joop Schaye, Claudio Dalla Vecchia

When averaged over large scales, star formation in galaxies is observed to follow the empirical Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) law for surface densities above a constant threshold. While t…
