  8. a Universal Clustering Law and a Universal IMF ? Field stars fall on clustering law All -2.51 +/- 0.29 No field -2.27 +/- 0.38 SMC Oey, King, & Parker 2004 A steep field IMF a steepening N* (fewer massive) (more low-N*) Massey (1995, 2002); Kroupa & Weidner (2003)

  9. Fraction of Field Massive Stars: 35% to 7% for N*,up = 10 to 106 SMC: expect ~20%, see ~26% modest dependence on total SFR Oey, King, & Parker 2004

  10. RADIATIVE FEEDBACK Nebular emission • HII Region LF • Diffuse, warm ionized medium Large Magellanic Cloud MCELS Smith et al. 2006 Ha, [S II], [O III], V, R

  11. HII Region Luminosity Function log N(L) • Break in slope • Arm populations: shallower a Interarm populations: steeper a • Hubble Type correlation a ~ 1.7 Sc – Im a ~ 2.0 Sb – Sc a ~ 2.6 Sa log L a Universal Clustering Law and a Universal IMF ? Oey & Clarke 1998

  12. Ionization of the Diffuse WIM HaMilky Way WHAM: Reynolds et al. Field stars: ~ 50% WIM ionized by fieldOey et al. 2004; Hoopes & Walterbos 2000 Leaky nebulae: LMC: up to 50% ionizing photons escape Oey & Kennicutt 1997; Gerken, Walterbos, & Oey 2003

  13. MECHANICAL FEEDBACK Small Magellanic Cloud Staveley-Smith et al. 1997 H I DEM L152 R. C. Smith & MCELS Ha, [S II], [O III] ~100 pc diameter

  15. Oey & Clarke 1997 Size distribution Predicted -2.8 +/- 0.4 Observed -2.7 +/- 0.6 Oey & Clarke 1998 prediction observed Velocity distribution Predicted -3.5 Observed -2.9 +/- 1.4

  16. Ionizing photons escape into ISM? ...into IGM? Reionization of Universe? Escape of hot gas, stellar products and ionizing photons?

  17. Clarke & Oey 2003 Critical SF Threshold MW: Ambiguous porosity e.g., Oey & Clarke 1997 Starbursts: Lyman cont seen in Haro 11 Bergvall et al. 2006 LBGs: Lyman cont seen? Steidel et al. 2001 The first galaxies: ?

  19. High SF intensity : Less WIM

  20. Possible causes for high SFI : less WIM • Ionization source reduced: • Output from HII regions reduced • Fewer field OB stars • Starbursts occupy ISM and Remaining WIM density-bounded Ionizing photons escape

  21. Fraction of Field Massive Stars: recall 35% to 7% for N*,up = 10 to 106 SMC: expect ~20%, see ~26% modest dependence on total SFR Oey, King, & Parker 2004

  22. Diffuse fraction vs. total SFR

  23. recall Clarke & Oey 2003 Critical SF Threshold MW: Ambiguous porosity e.g., Oey & Clarke 1997 J0355-42 Starbursts: LBGs: Lyman cont seen e.g., Steidel et al. 2001

  24. Trend for HI-poor galaxies

  25. Possible causes for high SFI : less WIM • Ionization source reduced: • Output from HII regions reduced • Fewer field OB stars • Starbursts occupy ISM and Remaining WIM density-bounded ? Likely LyC seen from Haro 11 Bergvall et al. 2006 Ionizing photons escape
