AbstractThe results of a comparative study of star formation thresholds in gas-rich, low surface brightness, dwarf galaxies are presented. Approximately half the galaxies in the study were “high MH/LB” galaxies, which appear to have inefficient star formation properties. The comparison sample comprised of otherwise “normal” dwarf galaxies, with moderate current star formation rates. In all systems, sites of active star formation were associated with local peaks in the HI column density. For both types of galaxies, the azimuthally averaged gas column density is low. Similar to other LSB systems, the global gas densities are well below the critical threshold for star formation throughout the system. Thus, star formation is inhibited globally, but occurs locally in these gas-rich dwarf galaxies.

In a search for very high density (n ≳ 107 cm−3) regions, the Millimeter Wave Observatory 5-m telescope was used to observe several submillimeter lines. The regions studied were Orion A, M17, S140, and NGC2024. The lines were CS(J=7-6), H2CO(JK-1K1=515→414), and HCN(J=4-3). These data are combined with data at millimeter wavelengths to derive the volume density and the results are compared to those deduced from millimeter lines alone (Snell et al. 1984). In NGC2024, higher densities (≳ 107 cm−3) are clearly indicated by the sub-mm lines than were derived by Snell et al. In M17, derived densities are also higher, but uncertainties overlap the Snell et al. solutions. The range of densities derived from CS and HCN are consistent. The sub-millimeter lines of these species appear to be good probes of the highest densities present in regions of active star formation.
