Mapping Global Star Formation in the Interacting Galaxy Pair Arp32
Amulti-wavelength set of photometric data including UV (GALEX), optical, near-IR, infrared (Spitzer) and radio (VLA 20cm) images and spectroscopic observations are used to map the dust-obscured and unobscured star formation in the galaxy pair Arp 32. The system consists of an actively starforming galaxy and another one with depressed star formation. The most active galaxy has disrupted morpholo...
متن کاملCold gas and star formation in a merging galaxy sequence
ABSTRACT We explore the evolution of the cold gas (molecular and neutral hydrogen) and starformation activity during galaxy interactions, using a merging galaxy sequence comprising both preand post-merger candidates. Data for this study come from the literature but supplemented by some new radio observations presented here. Firstly, we confirm that the ratio of far-infrared luminosity to molecu...
متن کاملGas and Galaxy Formation
The theory of galaxy formation is reviewed briefly. From the evidence of clusters today, the primordial gas fraction was 20% or more. Thus, while the Universe is dominated by dark matter, gas plays an appreciable role in galaxy formation. Collapses of dwarf protogalaxies produce predominantly cold gas. It is argued that, in such cold collapses, the collapsed gas is largely self-gravitating. As ...
متن کاملGalaxy Collisions and Star Formation
We present a brief overview of some recent observations of colliding galaxies and relevant numerical simulations. These are compared, and details of the locations and history of collision induced star formation are explored, with possible application to star formation at earlier epochs.
متن کاملStar Formation and Galaxy Environment
The dependence of star formation rate on galaxian environment is a key issue in the understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. However, the study of this subject is complex and observationally challenging. This paper reviews some of the current results, drawing mostly from recent large redshift surveys such the LCRS, the MORPH collaboration, and the CNOC1 and CNOC2 redshift surveys.
