Damped Lyman Alpha Systems in Galaxy Formation Simulations
Andrew Pontzen, Fabio Governato, Max Pettini +6
We investigate the population of z=3 damped Lyman alpha absorbers (DLAs) in a recent series of high resolution galaxy formation simulations. The simulations are of interest because…
Science Results Enabled by SDSS Astrometric Observations
Z. Ivezic, N. Bond, M. Juric +8
We discuss several results made possible by accurate SDSS astrometric measurements in a large sky area, with emphasis on asteroids and stellar proper motions obtained by comparing…
Simulations of unstable gaseous disks and the origin of giant planets
Lucio Mayer, Thomas Quinn, James Wadsley +1
We study the evolution of cold, gravitationally unstable protoplanetary gaseous disks performing 3D SPH simulations with up to a million particles on large parallel machines. We sh…
Time stepping N-body simulations
Thomas Quinn, Neal Katz, Joachim Stadel +1
Leapfrog integration has been the method of choice in N-body simulations owing to its low computational cost for a symplectic integrator with second order accuracy. We introduce a…
