The disruption of giant molecular clouds by radiation pressure & the efficiency of star formation in galaxies
N Murray, E Quataert, TA Thompson - The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Star formation is slow in the sense that the gas consumption time is much longer than the
dynamical time. It is also inefficient; star formation in local galaxies takes place in giant …
