Cosmological simulations of quasar fueling to sub-parsec scales using Lagrangian hyper-refinement
Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Eliot Quataert, Philip Hopkins +7
We present cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of a quasar-mass halo ( at z=2) that for the first time resolve gas transport down…
Ultraviolet Perspectives on Diffuse Gas in the Largest Cosmic Structures
Joseph N. Burchett, Daisuke Nagai, Iryna Butsky +31
The past decade has seen an explosion of discoveries and new insights into the diffuse gas within galaxies, galaxy clusters, and the filaments composing the Cosmic Web. A new decad…
Eccentricity Evolution in Simulated Galaxy Clusters
Stephen Floor, Adrian Melott, Christopher Miller +1
Strong cluster eccentricity evolution for has appeared in a variety of observational data sets. We examine the evolution of eccentricity in simulated galaxy clusters u…
Accretion Shocks in Clusters of Galaxies and their SZ Signature from Cosmological Simulations
Sandor M. Molnar, Nathan Hearn, Zoltán Haiman +3
Cold dark matter (CDM) hierarchical structure formation models predict the existence of large-scale accretion shocks between the virial and turnaround radii of clusters of galaxies…
Towards simulating star formation in the interstellar medium
A. Slyz, J. Devriendt, Greg Bryan +1
As a first step to a more complete understanding of the local physical processes which determine star formation rates (SFRs) in the interstellar medium (ISM), we have performed con…
Heating cooling flows with jets
Henrik Omma, James Binney, Greg Bryan +1
Active galactic nuclei are clearly heating gas in `cooling flows'. The effectiveness and spatial distribution of the heating are controversial. We use three-dimensional simulations…
