The star formation and dynamics of nearby galaxies
A scaling relation between the surface density of star formation and gas in the disks of galaxies has become the basis of our understanding of extragalactic star formation on scales of hundreds of parsecs and larger. This is an empirical law but star formation is a complex process - the presence of...
