Impact of relativistic jets on the star formation rate: a turbulence-regulated framework

We apply a turbulence-regulated model of star formation to calculate the rate (SFR) dense star-forming clouds in simulations jet-ISM interactions. The method isolates individual clumps and accounts for impact virial parameter Mach number on activity. This improves upon other estimates SFR jet--ISM interactions, which are often solely based local gas density, neglecting turbulence. this framework results suite interaction study how jet regulates both globally scale clouds. find that strongly affects multi-phase ISM galaxy, inducing turbulence increasing velocity dispersion within causes global reduction compared simulation without jet. shocks driven into by also compress higher densities, resulting enhancements SFR. However, such is comparably high, lower than would be observed galaxies with similar mass surface densities powerful radio jets. thus show negative positive feedback can occur single system during event, star-formation varies complicated manner depends strength coupling break-out time-scale.
