Supershells with induced large-scale supernovae formation

  • 1. Main Astronomical Observatory, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Kiev, Goloseevo (USSR)

Description

The authors propose a model of expanding supershells regulated by star formation which is induced in HI super-clouds by similar shells from a previous evolutionary stage. Compression of pre-existing cloudlets by such shells triggers the formation of massive stars which then explode at the end of their evolution as supernovae. Efficiency of induced supernovae formation must be less than 1% to fit the observational properties of supershells
