Pressure-regulated, Feedback-modulated Star Formation in Disk Galaxies

EC Ostriker, CG Kim - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The star formation rate (SFR) in galactic disks depends on both the quantity of the available
interstellar medium (ISM) gas and its physical state. Conversely, the ISM's physical state …
