The Prevalence of Star-forming Clumps as a Function of Environmental Overdensity in Local Galaxies

The Prevalence of Star-forming Clumps as a Function of Environmental Overdensity in Local Galaxies

At the peak of cosmic star formation (1 ≲ z ≲ 2), the majority of star-forming galaxies hosted compact, star-forming clumps, which were responsible for a large fraction of cosmic star formation. By comparison, ≲5% of local star-forming galaxies host comparable clumps. In this work, we investigate th...
