Galactic Angular Momentum in the Illustris Simulation: Feedback and the Hubble Sequence
Shy Genel, S. Michael Fall, Lars Hernquist +5
We study the stellar angular momentum of thousands of galaxies in the Illustris cosmological simulation, which captures gravitational and gas dynamics within galaxies, as well as f…
Reducing noise in moving-grid codes with strongly-centroidal Lloyd mesh regularization
Philip Mocz, Mark Vogelsberger, Rudiger Pakmor +3
A method for improving the accuracy of hydrodynamical codes that use a moving Voronoi mesh is described. Our scheme is based on a new regularization scheme that constrains the mesh…
Hot Gaseous Coronae around Spiral Galaxies: Probing the Illustris Simulation
Akos Bogdan, Mark Vogelsberger, Ralph P. Kraft +10
The presence of hot gaseous coronae around present-day massive spiral galaxies is a fundamental prediction of galaxy formation models. However, our observational knowledge remains…
