On the origin of the fundamental metallicity relation and the scatter in galaxy scaling relations
John C. Forbes, Mark R. Krumholz, Andreas Burkert +1
We present a simple toy model to understand what sets the scatter in star formation and metallicity of galaxies at fixed mass. The scatter ultimately arises from the intrinsic scat…

Balance among gravitational instability, star formation, and accretion determines the structure and evolution of disk galaxies
John C. Forbes, Mark R. Krumholz, Andreas Burkert +1
Over the past 10 Gyr, star-forming galaxies have changed dramatically, from clumpy and gas rich, to rather quiescent stellar-dominated disks with specific star formation rates lowe…
