The evolution of galaxies is driven by the intricate power play between magnetically driven turbulence and the mass and gravity of its comprising gas and dust, a system which governs the formation of stars in the dense cores of the interstellar medium s giant molecular clouds. ... This results in separate relations for the star formation rate depending on the Mach number of the medium, differing from each other by up to an order of magnitude. ...
... Printed in U.S.A. THE STELLAR DISK THICKNESS OF LOW SURFACE BRIGHTNESS GALAXIES D. Bizyaev 1,2,3 and S. Kajsin 4 Received 2003 October 23; accepted 2004 June 9 ABSTRACT We present surface photometry results for a sample of 11 edge-on galaxies observed with the 6 m telescope at the Special Astrophysical Observatory, Russia. ... We find from a comparison of photometric scales that the stellar disks of LSB galaxies are thinner than those of high surface brightness ( HSB) galaxies. ... UGC 11301 .. ...
