Evolution of local Ultraluminous mergers from NIR spectroscopy
K. M. Dasyra, L. J. Tacconi, R. I. Davies +4
We present results from our VLT Large Program to study the dynamical evolution of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs). We have so far obtained near-infrared high-resolution IS…
Stellar Feedback Processes: Their Impact on Star Formation and Galactic Evolution
Andreas Burkert
The conditions that lead to self-regulated star formation, star bursts and the formation of massive stellar clusters are discussed. Massive stars have a strong impact on their envi…
Collisional Stellar Dynamics, Gas Dynamics and Special Purpose Computing
R. Spurzem, J. Makino, T. Fukushige +6
Challenging stellar dynamical problems, such as the study of gravothermal oscillations in star clusters, have in the past initiated the very successful building of GRAPE special pu…
Gas Dynamics and Inflow in gas-rich Galaxy Mergers
Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert
We performed N-body/SPH simulations of merging gas-rich disk galaxies with mass ratios of 1:1 and 3:1. A stellar disk and bulge component and a dark halo was realized with collisio…
Column Density Probability Distribution Functions in Turbulent Molecular Clouds: A Comparison between Theory and Observations
Andreas Burkert, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low
The one-point statistics of column density distributions of turbulent molecular cloud models are investigated and compared with observations. In agreement with the observations, th…
Star Formation in Turbulent Molecular Clouds
Andreas Burkert
Recent progress in the understanding of star formation is summarized. A consistent picture is emerging where molecular clouds form with turbulent velocity fields and clumpy substru…
