The Impact of Shear on Disk Galaxy Star Formation Rates

Determining the physical processes that control galactic-scale star formation rates is essential for an improved understanding of galaxy evolution. The role of orbital shear is currently unclear, with some models expecting reduced star formation rates and efficiencies with increasing shear, e.g., if...
