Star formation in accretion discs : from the Galactic Center to Active Galactic Nuclei
Context. Keplerian accretion discs around massive black holes (MBHs) are gravitationally unstable beyond a few hundredths of parsec and should collapse to form stars. It was indeed shown recently that an accretion/star formation episode took place a few millions years ago in the Galactic Center (GC). This raises the question of how the disc can survive in AGN and quasars and continue to transpo...
متن کاملForced accretion in stochastically fed AGN and quasars
Steady state accretion discs larger than ∼ 0.01−0.1 pc are known to be gravitationally unstable for the accretion rates needed to explain super-massive black hole (SMBH) activity. We propose that SMBH are fed by a succession of mass deposition events with randomly directed angular momenta. Because of incomplete angular momentum cancellation a warped accretion disc forms in the inner few parsec....
متن کاملCritical Accretion Rate for Triggered Star Formation
We have reexamined the similarity solution for a self-gravitating isothermal gas sphere and examined implication to star formation in a turbulent cloud. When parameters are adequately chosen, the similarity solution expresses an accreting isothermal gas sphere bounded by a spherical shock wave. The mass and radius of the sphere increases in proportion to the time, while the central density decr...
متن کاملSpatially resolved star formation histories of nearby galaxies: evidence for episodic star formation in discs
Using long-slit spectroscopy from Moran et al. (2012) we constrain the radial dependence of the recent star formation histories of nearby galaxies with stellar masses greater than 1010M⊙. By fitting stellar population models to the combination of SSFR, D4000 and HγA, we show that the star formation histories of many disk galaxies cannot be accurately represented if their star formation rates de...
متن کاملBuilding galaxies by accretion and in situ star formation
We examine galaxy formation in a cosmological adaptive mesh refinement simulation, which includes two high-resolution boxes, one centred on a 3 × 1014 M cluster, and one centred on a void. We examine the evolution of 611 massive (M∗ > 1010 M ) galaxies. We find that the fraction of the final stellar mass which is accreted from other galaxies is between 15 and 40 per cent and increases with stel...
