Molecular gas and star formation in the Tidal Dwarf Galaxy VCC 2062
(2016-06-01)
The physical mechanisms driving star formation (SF) in galaxies are still not fully understood. Tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs), made of gas ejected during galaxy interactions, seem to be devoid of dark matter and have a ...
Studying the spatially resolved Schmidt-Kennicutt law in interacting galaxies : The case of Arp 158
(2011-09)
Context. Recent studies have shown that star formation in mergers does not seem to follow the same Schmidt-Kennicutt relation as in spiral disks, presenting a higher star formation rate (SFR) for a given gas column density. ...
