The big problems in star formation: the star formation rate, stellar clustering, and the initial mass function

MR Krumholz - Physics Reports, 2014 - Elsevier
Star formation lies at the center of a web of processes that drive cosmic evolution:

Systematic variation of the stellar initial mass function in early-type galaxies

M Cappellari, RM McDermid, K Alatalo, L Blitz, M Bois… - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
Much of our knowledge of galaxies comes from analysing the radiation emitted by their stars,
which depends on the present number of each type of star in the galaxy. The present …

An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst

FRN Schneider, H Sana, CJ Evans, JM Bestenlehner… - Science, 2018 - science.org
The 30 Doradus star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby analog of
large star-formation events in the distant universe. We determined the recent formation …

SP Driver, SK Andrews, E Da Cunha… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We use the energy-balance code magphys to determine stellar and dust masses, and dust
corrected star formation rates for over 200 000 GAMA galaxies, 170 000 G10-COSMOS …
