We review progress over the past decade in observations of large-scale star formation, with
a focus on the interface between extragalactic and Galactic studies. Methods of measuring …

We review the progress in modeling the galaxy population in hydrodynamical simulations of
the ΛCDM cosmogony. State-of-the-art simulations now broadly reproduce the observed …

For decades we have known that the Sun lies within the Local Bubble, a cavity of low-
density, high-temperature plasma surrounded by a shell of cold, neutral gas and dust …

The cold interstellar medium (ISM) plays a central role in the galaxy evolution process. It is
the reservoir that fuels galaxy growth via star formation, the repository of material formed by …

Modeling galaxy formation in a cosmological context presents one of the greatest
challenges in astrophysics today due to the vast range of scales and numerous physical …

We develop analytic methods for studying the formation of galaxies by gas condensation
within massive dark halos. Our scheme applies to cosmogonies where structure grows …

Cooling functions for low-density astrophysical plasmas ADS Classic is now deprecated. It
will be completely retired in October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new …

The theory of first order Fermi acceleration at collisionless astrophysical shock fronts is
reviewed. Observations suggest that shock waves in different astrophysical environments …

We present a model for star formation and supernova feedback that describes the
multiphase structure of star-forming gas on scales that are typically not resolved in …

A new mechanism is proposed for acceleration of a power-law distribution of cosmic rays
with approximately the observed slope. High-energy particles in the vicinity of a shock are …
