宇宙时间内从气体到恒星

From Gas to Stars Over Cosmic Time

Mordecai-Mark Mac Low

摘要:

从130亿年前第一颗恒星形成到现在,恒星的形成有着一个意想不到的动态历史。起初,恒星形成率密度急剧增加,在100亿年前达到峰值,是现在的十倍以上。对恒星形成初期的观测仍然很困难,也没有很好的限制。理论模型很难预测这段历史,因为很难跟踪恒星辐射和超新星爆炸产生的能量反馈到气体中,从而形成更多的恒星。使用下一代仪器从地面和太空进行的观测应该可以揭示宇宙中恒星形成的完整历史,而模拟似乎可以准确预测观测到的历史。

英文摘要:

From the time the first stars formed over 13 billion years ago to the present, star formation has had an unexpectedly dynamic history. At first, the star formation rate density increased dramatically, reaching a peak 10 billion years ago more than ten times the present day value. Observations of the initial rise in star formation remain difficult, poorly constraining it. Theoretical modeling has trouble predicting this history because of the difficulty in following the feedback of energy from stellar radiation and supernova explosions into the gas from which further stars form. Observations from the ground and space with the next generation of instruments should reveal the full history of star formation in the universe, while simulations appear poised to accurately predict the observed history.
