Stochastic Modeling of Star Formation Histories. III. Constraints from Physically Motivated Gaussian Processes

Galaxy formation and evolution involve a variety of effectively stochastic processes that operate over different timescales. The extended regulator model provides an analytic framework for the resulting variability (or “burstiness”) in galaxy-wide star formation due to these processes. It does this...
