The Gould Belt, star formation, and the local interstellar medium
The history of the local medium, within a few hundred parsecs, is dominated by the evolution of the Gould Belt. The event that triggered this star-forming region and molded the gas distribution is still unknown. Its orientation and extent are reasonably well determined and its expansion matches the space and velocity distributions of many large HI and H2 clouds within half a kiloparsec. The pre...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Flow in Interstellar Medium and Star Formation
Almost all interstellar objects contain inherent inhomogeneity. The inhomogeneity can manifest in many different ways, such as the uneven matter distribution in a molecular cloud, or the tangled magnetic field distribution in a Bok globule. The dynamics of interstellar objects is thus often governed by the interaction between astrophysical flows or shocks such as supernova blast waves with inho...
متن کاملOn the Interstellar Medium and Star Formation Demographics of Galaxies in the Local Universe
We present a demographic analysis of integrated star formation and gas properties for a sample of galaxies representative of the overall population at z ∼ 0. This research was undertaken in order to characterise the nature of star formation and interstellar medium (ISM) behaviour in the local universe, and test the extent to which global star formation rates can be seen as dependent on the inte...
متن کاملThe Impact of Star Formation and Active Nuclei on the Interstellar Medium in Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
The energy input into the interstellar medium in Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) is enormous, regardless of the nature of the power source. I discuss some of the major consequences for the structure and energetics of the ISM in these galaxies. Observationally, the column densities in the nuclear regions of ULIRGs are known to be very high, which makes distinguishing starbursts from AGN...
متن کاملInterstellar Turbulence and Star Formation
We provide a brief overview of recent advances and outstanding issues in simulations of interstellar turbulence, including isothermal models for interior structure of molecular clouds and larger-scale multiphase models designed to simulate the formation of molecular clouds. We show how self-organization in highly compressible magnetized turbulence in the multiphase ISM can be exploited in simpl...
