Differences in star formation activity between tidally triggered and isolated bars: a case study of NGC 4303 and NGC 3627
Elizabeth J. Iles, Alex R. Pettitt, Takashi Okamoto
Galactic bars are important drivers of galactic evolution, and yet how they impact the interstellar medium and correspondingly star formation, remains unclear. We present simulatio…
The formation of massive stellar clusters in converging galactic flows with photoionisation
C. L. Dobbs, T. J. R. Bending, A. R. Pettitt +1
We have performed simulations of cluster formation along two regions of a spiral arm taken from a global Milky Way simulation, including photoionising feedback. One region is chara…
The SEDIGISM survey: The influence of spiral arms on the molecular gas distribution of the inner Milky Way
D. Colombo, A. Duarte-Cabral, A. R. Pettitt +23
The morphology of the Milky Way is still a matter of debate. In order to shed light on uncertainties surrounding the structure of the Galaxy, in this paper, we study the imprint of…
