摘要
The -rich ultra-diffuse galaxies (HUDGs) offer a unique case for studies of star formation laws as they host low star formation efficiency and low-metallicity environments where gas is predominantly atomic. We collect a sample of six HUDGs in the field and investigate their location in the extended Schmidt law (Sigma(SFR) alpha (Sigma(0.5)(star) Sigma(gas))(1.09)). They are consistent with this relationship well (with deviations of only 1.1 sigma). Furthermore, we find that HUDGs follow the tight correlation between the hydrostatic pressure in the galaxy mid-plane and the quantity on the x-axis (log (Sigma(0.5)(star) Sigma(gas)) of the extended Schmidt law. This result indicates that these HUDGs can be self-regulated systems that reach the dynamical and thermal equilibrium. In this framework, the stellar gravity compresses the disc vertically and counteracts the gas pressure in the galaxy mid-plane to regulate the star formation as suggested by some theoretical models.
