Other than its large physical size, star formation in N159 appears to be indistinguishable from star formation in the Milky Way. | |
100 Citations | Our model calculations show that for an individual Milky Way-type galaxy, a better description of the local star formation is the M-KS law. |
This suggests a very short formation time scale for the bulk of the stars in this galaxy. | |
We also show that the surface star formation rate profile of the Milky Way correlates well with the molecular gas surface density profile. | |
This strongly suggests that star formation in the Milky Way is a dynamic process on GMC scales. | |
We show evidence that the two main scenarios for the bulge formation co-exist within the Milky Way bulge. |
