Investigating the physics of star formation in isolated and perturbed galaxies

This thesis concentrates on the numerical modelling of star formation in isolated and perturbed systems, with particular emphasis on the effects of feedback. In view of the complicated nature of star formation within an individual molecular cloud, a stochastic approach is adopted in which the timesc...
