Pre-supernova feedback mechanisms drive the destruction of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies

Melanie Chevance et al.

Summary: The study found that early feedback mechanisms play a crucial role in dispersing GMCs and limiting their star formation efficiency after the onset of star formation, with effects related to the morphological features of galaxies and independent of environmental factors. Additionally, the efficiency at which energy injected by these feedback mechanisms couples with the parent GMC is relatively low.

Uncertainties in supernova input rates drive qualitative differences in simulations of galaxy evolution

Benjamin W. Keller et al.

Summary: Feedback from core collapse supernovae is crucial for galaxy formation theory, but uncertainties in the energy budget, duration, and minimum progenitor mass of these supernovae make it challenging to accurately characterize their strength.

Empirically motivated early feedback: momentum input by stellar feedback in galaxy simulations inferred through observations

Benjamin W. Keller et al.

Summary: We propose a new method for including the effects of early feedback in galaxy evolution simulations, using direct observational measurements of the disruption time-scales of star-forming molecular clouds. By combining these measurements with an analytic framework, we are able to inform our model for feedback and observe its effects on the spatial clustering of star formation, the structure of the ISM, and galactic outflows.

On the duration of the embedded phase of star formation

Jaeyeon Kim et al.

Summary: Feedback from massive stars is crucial in molecular cloud evolution. The embedded phase of massive star formation lasts 2-7 million years, with the region heavily obscured in the first half and partially exposed in the second half. After the cloud disperses, ongoing star formation is no longer traced by 24 emission, but can be detected through ambient CO-dark gas emissions for 2-9 million years. Future JWST observations will enable routine measurements across nearby galaxies.

Spatial Decorrelation of Young Stars and Dense Gas as a Probe of the Star Formation-Feedback Cycle in Galaxies

Vadim A. Semenov et al.

Summary: The study investigates the spatial decorrelation of dense molecular gas and young stars observed in nearby galaxies, indicating rapid dispersal of star-forming regions by stellar feedback. It is found that different types of feedback, such as H-2 dissociation, gas heating, and supernovae explosions, can affect the correlation between molecular gas and star formation density, providing strong observational constraints. The research highlights the importance of considering various feedback mechanisms in understanding the structure and evolution of interstellar medium in galaxies.

Momentum feedback from marginally resolved Hii regions in isolated disc galaxies

Sarah M. R. Jeffreson et al.

Summary: A novel physically motivated sub-grid model for Hii region feedback is presented, which shows that the injection of momentum has a significant impact on the ratio of cold and molecular gas, as well as decreasing the mass-loading of galactic outflows. The simulations indicate that the characteristic lifetime of the least-massive molecular clouds is reduced, while the lifetimes of intermediate-mass clouds are elongated.
