To model the nearly constant star formation rate, SFR, observed in most late-type galaxies (Gallagher et al. 1984), as well as the starbursting behaviour of some interacting galaxies (Joseph et al. 1984) we have developed a phenomenological model of the regulatory coupling between the density of the star forming part of the interstellar medium, i.e. molecular gas, and the rate of formation of massive stars.
