What controls active star formation in the four-giant HII regions in M101 ? ■Observational results - High velocity gas (HVG) infall(150 km/s) near giant HII regions. . (Van derHulst et al.,1998) High velocity gas clouds (150 km/s) ■Numerical simulations -HVG infall causes the Parker instability. (Santillan et al. 1999) ■Theoretical prediction for the star formation law NIST -SFR ∝ gas density1 (Elmegreen 1994) Gas pools ⇔ obtained N~1.0 for the four-giant HII regions.

Summary ■ Star formation induced by galaxy-galaxy interactions ■Interacted spiral galaxies: M101, M81, and NGC1313 Local K-S law (1) gives an insight into association of star formation with interactions (2) shows the variation of “N” by regions in a galactic disk For example : the four-giant HII regions in M101 -Local K-S law indicates that star formation istriggered by HVG infall. -Star formation activities are highest in M101 despite outer regions. Galaxy-galaxy interactions can dramatically change in starforming activities in a galaxy. ■ Star formation induced by galaxy-IGM interaction ■Stephan’s Quintet: IGM star formation & the large-scale shock • At the shocked region, AKARI clearly shows the presence of dust grains • that coexist with warm H2 gas. → The dusty IGM environment. • Single peak emission seen in the 160 μm image indicates • the possibility of the luminous[CII]158 μm line emission (L[CII] ~LH2 > LX-ray). In the dusty IGM, H2 can be formed on dust grains as fuel for future star formation. [CII] and H2lines rather than X-ray emission are powerful cooling channels to release collision energy.
