Variations in the Galactic star formation rate and density thresholds for star formation

Variations in the Galactic star formation rate and density thresholds for star formation

The conversion of gas into stars is a fundamental process in astrophysics and cosmology. Stars are known to form from the gravitational collapse of dense clumps in interstellar molecular clouds, and it has been proposed that the resulting star formation rate is proportional to either the amount of...
