Star Formation in Dwarf Galaxies

将进行几个项目，研究矮星系中的恒星形成，在St andrews开发的光滑粒子流体动力学代码的基础上，开发星系尺度上的分解恒星形成模型。这将涉及模拟一个完整的星系潜力，分子云的形成和引力坍缩和恒星形成的开始，包括电离和超新星的辐射和运动学反馈，目的是增加对这种反馈对分子云寿命和恒星形成效率的影响的理解。

Several projects will be undertaken looking at star formation in dwarf galaxies, developing the models of resolved star formation on galactic scales based on St Andrews-developed smoothed-particle hydrodynamics code. This will involve modelling a full galactic potential, the formation of molecular clouds and the onset of gravitational collapse and star formation, including radiative and kinematic feedback from ionisation and supernovae, with the aim of increasing understanding of the effect of this feedback on molecular cloud lifetimes and star formation efficiencies.
