Starbursts triggered by inter-galactic tides and interstellar compressive turbulence
Florent Renaud, Frédéric Bournaud, Katarina Kraljic +1
Using parsec-resolution simulations of a typical galaxy merger, we study the triggering of starbursts by connecting the (inter-)galactic dynamics to the structure of the interstell…

The role of turbulence in star formation laws and thresholds
Katarina Kraljic, Florent Renaud, Frederic Bournaud +4
The Schmidt-Kennicutt relation links the surface densities of gas to the star formation rate in galaxies. The physical origin of this relation, and in particular its break, i.e. th…
