Fractal Structure in Galactic Star Fields
Bruce G. Elmegreen, Debra Meloy Elmegreen
The fractal structure of star formation on large scales in disk galaxies is studied using the size distribution function of stellar aggregates in kpc-scale star fields. Achival HST…
The Origin of The Stellar Initial Mass Function
Bruce G. Elmegreen
Observations and theories of the stellar initial mass function are reviewed. The universality and large total mass range of the power law portion of the IMF suggest a connection be…
A Fractal Analysis of the HI Emission from the Large Magellanic Cloud
Bruce G. Elmegreen, Sungeun Kim, Lister Staveley-Smith
A composite map of HI in the LMC using the ATCA interferometer and the Parkes multibeam telescope was analyzed in several ways in an attempt to characterize the structure of the ne…
The detection of spiral arm modulation in the mass distribution of an optically flocculent galaxy
Ivanio Puerari, David L. Block, Bruce G. Elmegreen +2
Spiral arm modulation in NGC 4062 (an optical flocculent) is detected for the first time; the Fourier spectra of NGC 4062 and NGC 5248 (a classic grand design in optical images) ar…
Modeling a high mass turn down in the stellar initial mass function
Bruce G. Elmegreen
Statistical sampling from the stellar initial mass function (IMF) for all star-forming regions in the Galaxy would lead to the prediction of ~1000 Msun stars unless there is a rapi…
The detection of spiral arm modulation in the stellar disk of an optically flocculent and an optically grand design galaxy
Ivanio Puerari, David L. Block, Bruce G. Elmegreen +2
Two dimensional Fourier spectra of near-infrared images of galaxies provide a powerful diagnostic tool for the detection of spiral arm modulation in stellar disks. Spiral arm modul…
