Scientific paper

A statistical study of the correlation between the rate of star formation per unit mass of gas and the average gas density in irregular galaxies suggests that this rate decreases with increasing average density. The physical significance of this unexpected negative correlation, which seems free from important biases due to selection effects, is a mystery.
