Figure 2:
The azimuthally averaged
distributions
obtained for a pure Schmidt law (the solid line), the Schmidt
law supplemented with the Toomre criterion for star formation
(the dashed line), and the Schmidt law supplemented with the shear
criterion (the dashed-dotted line). The dotted line represents the observed
radial profile. |
