Low-mass galaxy assembly in simulations: regulation of early star formation by radiation from massive stars

Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, Anatoly Klypin, Pedro Colin +3

Despite recent success in forming realistic present-day galaxies, simulations still form the bulk of their stars earlier than observations indicate. We investigate the process of s…
