Star formation in bar environments I. Morphology, star formation rates and general properties
A study of the morphological properties and star formation rates (SFRs) of H ii regions located along the bars of a sample of eleven late-type barred systems is presented and compared with numerical simulations. According to the relative intensity of star formation along the bar with respect to that of the nuclear region, three types of distributions are observed. They may be related to the age...
متن کاملStar Formation in the Local Milky Way
Studies of molecular clouds and young stars near the sun have provided invaluable insights into the process of star formation. Indeed, much of our physical understanding of this topic has been derived from such studies. Perhaps the two most fundamental problems confronting star formation research today are: 1) determining the origin of stellar mass and 2) deciphering the nature of the physical ...
متن کاملStar Formation Histories in the Local Group
Deep color magnitude diagrams extending to the main sequence provide the most direct measure of the detailed star formation history in a stellar population. With large investments of observing time, HST can obtain such data for populations out to 1 Mpc, but its field of view is extremely small in comparison to the size of Local Group galaxies. This limitation severely constrains our understandi...
متن کاملStellar populations in local star - forming galaxies . II . - Recent star formation properties and stellar masses
We present the integrated properties of the stellar populations in the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) Survey galaxies. Applying the techniques described in the first paper of this series, we derive ages, burst masses and metallicities of the newly-formed stars in our sample galaxies. The population of young stars is responsible for the Hα emission used to detect the objects in the UCM ...
متن کاملThe Star Formation Rate of the Local Universe from the Kpno International Spectroscopic Survey
The KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) is a wide-field survey for extragalactic emission-line objects being carried out with the Burrell Schmidt at Kitt Peak. The critical difference between this survey and classical objective-prism surveys for active galaxies is the use of a CCD detector which allows us to probe to much fainter magnitudes than previous photographic surveys. We have...
