Observations that resolve nearby galaxies into individual regions across multiple phases of
the gas–star formation feedback “matter cycle” have provided a sharp new view of molecular …

Star clusters stand at the intersection of much of modern astrophysics: the ISM, gravitational
dynamics, stellar evolution, and cosmology. Here, we review observations and theoretical …

We present PHANGS–ALMA, the first survey to map CO J= 2→ 1 line emission at∼ 1''∼ 100
pc spatial resolution from a representative sample of 90 nearby (d≲ 20 Mpc) galaxies that lie …

ABSTRACT The Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project explores feedback in
cosmological galaxy formation simulations. Previous FIRE simulations used an identical …

Increasingly, uncertainties in predictions from galaxy formation simulations (at sub-Milky
Way masses) are dominated by uncertainties in stellar evolution inputs. In this paper, we …

The physics of star formation and the deposition of mass, momentum and energy into the
interstellar medium by massive stars ('feedback') are the main uncertainties in modern …

We introduce a new model for the structure and evolution of the gas in galactic discs. In the
model the gas is in vertical pressure and energy balance. Star formation feedback injects …

The role of turbulence and magnetic fields is studied for star formation in molecular clouds.
We derive and compare six theoretical models for the star formation rate (SFR)—the …

We measure empirical relationships between the local star formation rate (SFR) and
properties of the star-forming molecular gas on 1.5 kpc scales across 80 nearby galaxies …

The star formation rate (SFR) in galactic disks depends on both the quantity of the available
interstellar medium (ISM) gas and its physical state. Conversely, the ISM's physical state …
