via molecular and atomic fine structure line (FSL) emission have gone from a curious look …

The molecular cloud lifecycle

M Chevance, JMD Kruijssen… - Space Science …, 2020 - Springer
Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and their stellar offspring are the building blocks of galaxies.
The physical characteristics of GMCs and their evolution are tightly connected to galaxy …

First results from the TNG50 simulation: the evolution of stellar and gaseous discs across cosmic time

We present a new cosmological, magnetohydrodynamical simulation for galaxy formation:
TNG50, the third and final instalment of the IllustrisTNG project. TNG50 evolves 2× 21603 …

The lifecycle of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies

M Chevance, JMD Kruijssen… - Monthly Notices of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
It remains a major challenge to derive a theory of cloud-scale (pc) star formation and
feedback, describing how galaxies convert gas into stars as a function of the galactic …

What causes the formation of discs and end of bursty star formation?

PF Hopkins, AB Gurvich, X Shen… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
As they grow, galaxies can transition from irregular/spheroidal with 'bursty'star formation
histories (SFHs), to discy with smooth SFHs. But even in simulations, the direct physical …

THE KMOS3D SURVEY: DESIGN, FIRST RESULTS, AND THE EVOLUTION OF GALAXY KINEMATICS FROM 0.7⩽ z⩽ 2.7

E Wisnioski, NMF Schreiber, S Wuyts… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the KMOS 3D survey, a new integral field survey of over 600 galaxies at 0.7< z<

Dynamical properties of z ∼4.5 dusty star-forming galaxies and their connection with local early-type galaxies

F Rizzo, S Vegetti, F Fraternali… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
There is a large consensus that gas in high-z galaxies is highly turbulent, because of a
combination of stellar feedback processes and gravitational instabilities driven by mergers …

Cloud-scale molecular gas properties in 15 nearby galaxies

J Sun, AK Leroy, A Schruba… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We measure the velocity dispersion, σ, and surface density, Σ, of the molecular gas in
nearby galaxies from CO spectral line cubes with spatial resolution 45–120 pc, matched to …

A unified model for galactic discs: star formation, turbulence driving, and mass transport

MR Krumholz, B Burkhart, JC Forbes… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We introduce a new model for the structure and evolution of the gas in galactic discs. In the
model the gas is in vertical pressure and energy balance. Star formation feedback injects …

Globular clusters as the relics of regular star formation in 'normal'high-redshift galaxies

JMD Kruijssen - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
We present an end-to-end, two-phase model for the origin of globular clusters (GCs). In the
model, populations of stellar clusters form in the high-pressure discs of high-redshift (z> 2) …
