The disruption of giant molecular clouds by radiation pressure & the efficiency of star formation in galaxies

N Murray, E Quataert, TA Thompson - The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Star formation is slow in the sense that the gas consumption time is much longer than the
dynamical time. It is also inefficient; star formation in local galaxies takes place in giant …

The dynamics of radiation-pressure-dominated H II regions

MR Krumholz, CD Matzner - The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We evaluate the role of radiation pressure in the dynamics of H ii regions. We first determine
under what conditions radiation pressure is significant in comparison to gas pressure and …

The optical depth of H ii regions in the Magellanic Clouds

EW Pellegrini, MS Oey, PF Winkler… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We exploit ionization-parameter mapping (IPM) as a powerful tool to measure the optical
depth of star-forming H ii regions. Our simulations using the photoionization code Cloudy …
