Jian Fu, Qi Guo, Guinevere Kauffmann
TL;DR
This paper presents a semi-analytic model that simulates the distribution and properties of molecular and neutral gas in galaxy disks, reproducing observed profiles and providing insights into their scale relations.
Contribution
The study introduces a novel semi-analytic approach to model radial gas processes in galaxy disks, integrating molecular phases into star formation models.
Findings
Successfully reproduces observed radial surface density profiles.
Matches observed mass functions of gas in galaxies.
Provides predictions for scale relations of gas in disk galaxies.
Abstract
We introduced a semi-analytic model to study the detail of radial related processes on galaxy disks. Based on this recipe, we can calculate neutral and molecular gas in interstellar medium, and include the molecular phase into star formation recipes. From our model, we reproduced the radial surface density profiles and mass functions shown in the observational results. We can also give some predictions and explanations to the scale relations of neutral and molecular gas in disk galaxies.
