Stars in the Balance: the Connection between Stellar Feedback, Galactic Disk Emergence, and the Applicability of Equilibrium Models of Star Formation

Description:

Equilibrium models of star formation successfully derive the globally-averaged Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) relation, positing that star formation rates (SFRs) are self- regulated by the turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM) generated by stellar feedback. However, these models make assumptions that may not be achieved in realistic galaxy systems. Cosmological zoom-in simulations,...
