恒星形成率指标

Star Formation Rate Indicators

Daniela Calzetti

摘要:

关于恒星形成率指标,还有什么没说过很多次的?大型地面观测的“成熟”以及红外和紫外空间飞行任务前所未有的灵敏度、角分辨率和(或)视场,提供了关于附近和遥远星系的广泛、均匀的数据,这些数据被用来进一步了解许多常见的恒星形成率指标的优点和缺陷。这些调查之间的协同作用也使得能够校准指标,用于与恒星形成区相当的尺度,因此比整个星系小得多。这些正在被用来调查在亚银河系尺度的恒星形成过程。我回顾了过去十年左右在这一领域取得的进展。

英文摘要:

What else can be said about star formation rate indicators that has not been said already many times over? The `coming of age' of large ground-based surveys and the unprecedented sensitivity, angular resolution and/or field-of-view of infrared and ultraviolet space missions have provided extensive, homogeneous data on both nearby and distant galaxies, which have been used to further our understanding of the strengths and pitfalls of many common star formation rate indicators. The synergy between these surveys has also enabled the calibration of indicators for use on scales that are comparable to those of star-forming regions, thus much smaller than an entire galaxy. These are being used to investigate star formation processes at the sub-galactic scale. I review progress in the field over the past decade or so.
