Theory of star formation
We review current understanding of star formation, outlining an overall theoretical framework
and the observations that motivate it. A conception of star formation has emerged in which …

The star formation efficiency in nearby galaxies: measuring where gas forms stars effectively
AK Leroy, F Walter, E Brinks, F Bigiel… - The astronomical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We measure the star formation efficiency (SFE), the star formation rate (SFR) per unit of gas,
in 23 nearby galaxies and compare it with expectations from proposed star formation laws …

The local dark matter density
JI Read - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
I review current efforts to measure the mean density of dark matter near the Sun. This
encodes valuable dynamical information about our Galaxy and is also of great importance …

Formation of massive galaxies at high redshift: cold streams, clumpy disks, and compact spheroids
We present a simple theoretical framework for massive galaxies at high redshift, where the
main assembly and star formation occurred, and report on the first cosmological simulations …

Supermassive black holes at high redshift are expected to be obscured by their massive host galaxies' interstellar medium
We combine results from deep ALMA observations of massive (M*> 10 10 M⊙) galaxies at
different redshifts to show that the column density of their interstellar medium (ISM) rapidly …

Cool outflows in galaxies and their implications
Neutral-atomic and molecular outflows are a common occurrence in galaxies, near and far.
They operate over the full extent of their galaxy hosts, from the innermost regions of galactic …
