<Neal J. Evans II> studies <star formation> and the connection between interstellar <gas> and newly formed <stars>. His 2012 review with <Robert C. Kennicutt Jr.> compares ways of estimating <gas> content and <star formation rates>, from individual <molecular clouds> to entire <galaxies>.
The comparison matters because neither quantity is simply read off a photograph: a measured signal must be converted into <gas> <mass> or a <star formation rate>. The review assembles those measurement prescriptions before comparing the physical relations inferred from them.<Star Formation in the Milky Way and Nearby Galaxies by Robert C. Kennicutt Jr. and Neal J. Evans II>[Abstract: gas measurements, updated rate prescriptions and the range of spatial scales]{ref}
