Why is the Star Formation Rate Proportional to Dense Gas Mass?

One of the most profound empirical laws of star formation is the Gao–Solomon relation, a linear correlation between the star formation rate (SFR) and the dense molecular gas mass. It is puzzling how the complicated physics in star formation results in this surprisingly simple proportionality. Using...
