Star Formation in Disks: Spiral Arms, Turbulence, and Triggering Mechanisms
Star formation is enhanced in spiral arms because of a combination of orbit crowding, cloud collisions, and gravitational instabilities. The characteristic mass for the instability is 10 M⊙ in gas and 10 5 M⊙ in stars, and the morphology is the familiar beads on a string with 1-2 kpc separation. Similar instabilities occur in resonance rings and tidal tails. Sequential triggering from stellar p...
متن کاملStar formation in galaxies: the role of spiral arms
Studying star formation in spiral arms tells us not only about the evolution of star formation, and molecular clouds, but can also tell us about the nature of spiral structure in galaxies. I will address both these topics using the results of recent simulations and observations. Galactic scale simulations are beginning to examine in detail the evolution of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMC) as they f...
متن کاملEnhanced small-scale Faraday rotation in the Galactic spiral arms
We present an analysis of the rotation measures (RMs) of polarized extragalactic point sources in the Southern Galactic Plane Survey. This work demonstrates that the statistics of fluctuations in RM differ for the spiral arms and the interarm regions. Structure functions of RM are flat in the spiral arms, while they increase in the interarms. This indicates that there are no correlated RM fluct...
متن کاملObservation of Microlensing towards the Galactic Spiral Arms .
We present the analysis of the light curves of 8.5 million stars observed during two seasons by EROS (Expérience de Recherche d’Objets Sombres), in the Galactic plane away from the bulge. Three stars have been found that exhibit luminosity variations compatible with gravitational microlensing effects due to unseen objects. The corresponding optical depth, averaged over four directions, is τ̄ = 0...
متن کاملThe effects of spiral arms on the multi-phase ISM
Abstract. Statistical parameters of the ISM driven by thermal energy injections from supernova explosions have been obtained from 3D, nonlinear, magnetohydrodynamic, shearing-box simulations for spiral arm and interarm regions. The density scale height obtained for the interarm regions is 50% larger than within the spiral arms because of the higher gas temperature. The filling factor of the hot...
