17 May 2001 | Subject: | astro-ph | Affiliation: | IA-UNAM, Mexico | Abstract: | Using a cosmological galactic evolutionary approach to model the Milky Way, we calculate the star formation history (SFH) of the solar neighborhood. The good agreement we obtain with the observational inferences suggests that our physical model describes accurately the long term/large spatial trends of the local and global Milky Way SFH. In this model, star formation is triggered by disk gravitational instabilities and self-regulated by an energy balance in the ISM. The drivers of the SFH are the cosmological gas infall rate and the gas surface density determined by the primordial spin parameter. A LambdaCDM cosmology was used throughout. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0105294 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
