Analytic and numerical realisations of a disk galaxy
M. J. Stringer, A. M. Brooks, A. J. Benson +1
Recent focus on the importance of cold, unshocked gas accretion in galaxy formation -- not explicitly included in semi-analytic studies -- motivates the following detailed comparis…
Principles of supernova-driven winds
M. J. Stringer, R. G. Bower, S. Cole +2
The formation of galaxies is regulated by a balance between the supply of gas and the rate at which it is ejected. Traditional explanations of gas ejection equate the energy requir…
The formation of galaxy disks in a hierarchical universe
M. J. Stringer, A. J. Benson
The formation of galactic discs and the efficiency of star formation within them are issues central to our understanding of galaxy formation. We have developed a detailed and versa…
Modelling the formation and evolution of disk galaxies
M. J. Stringer, A. J. Benson
Inspired by recent work on feedback in disk galaxies (Efstathiou 2000, Silk 2003) and on the angular momentum distribution in simulated gas halos (Sharma and Steinmetz 2005), a ful…
Galaxy size trends as a consequence of cosmology
M. J. Stringer, F. Shankar, G. S. Novak +3
We show that recently documented trends in galaxy sizes with mass and redshift can be understood in terms of the influence of underlying cosmic evolution; a holistic view which is…
Mock observations with the Millennium simulation: Cosmological downsizing and intermediate redshift observations
M. J. Stringer, A. J. Benson, K. Bundy +2
Only by incorporating various forms of feedback can theories of galaxy formation reproduce the present-day luminosity function of galaxies. It has also been argued that such feedba…
