Star formation in M 33 : multiwavelength signatures across the disk
Aims. We use different tracers, such as Hα, ultraviolet (UV), and infrared (IR) emissions at various wavelengths, to study the dust and star-formation (SF) conditions throughout the disk of M 33. Methods. We derive the radial distribution of dust, of the old and young stellar population using Spitzer and GALEX data, complemented by ground-based optical data and available surveys of atomic and m...
متن کاملEfficient Star Formation in M 33
The Star Formation (SF) rate in galaxies is an important parameter at all redshifts and evolutionary stages of galaxies. In order to understand the increased SF rates in intermediate redshift galaxies one possibility is to study star formation in local galaxies with properties frequently found at this earlier epoch like low metallicity and small size. We present sensitive observations of the mo...
متن کاملThe stellar halo and outer disk of M 33
We present first results from a Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopic survey of red giant branch (RGB) stars in M33. The radial velocity distributions of the stars in our fields are well described by three Gaussian components, corresponding to a candidate halo component with an uncorrected radial velocity dispersion of σ ≃ 50 km s, a candidate disk component with a dispersion σ ≃ 16 km s, and a third compo...
متن کامل100 μm and 160 μm emission as resolved star-formation rate estimators in M 33 (HERM33ES) *
Context. Over the past few years several studies have provided estimates of the SFR (star-formation rate) or the total infrared luminosity from just one infrared band. However these relations are generally derived for entire galaxies, which are known to contain a large scale diffuse emission that is not necessarily related to the latest star-formation episode. Aims. We provide new relations to ...
متن کاملChemical enrichment and star formation in the Milky Way disk II . Star formation history
A chromospheric age distribution of 552 latetype dwarfs is transformed into a star formation history by the application of scale height corrections, stellar evolutionary corrections and volume corrections. We show that the disk of our Galaxy has experienced enhanced episodes of star formation at 0-1 Gyr, 2-5 Gyr and 7-9 Gyr ago, although the reality of the latter burst is still uncertain. The s...
