The Impact of Wind Scalings on Stellar Growth and the Baryon Cycle in Cosmological Simulations
Shuiyao Huang, Neal Katz, Romeel Davé +5
Many phenomenologically successful cosmological galaxy formation simulations employ kinetic winds to model galactic outflows, a crucial ingredient in obtaining predictions that agr…
Using Harmonic Decomposition to Understand Barred Galaxy Evolution
Michael S. Petersen, Martin D. Weinberg, Neal Katz
We study the mechanisms and evolutionary phases of bar formation in n-body simulations of a stellar disc and dark matter halo system using harmonic basis function expansion analysi…
Using Torque to Understand Barred Galaxy Models
Michael S. Petersen, Martin D. Weinberg, Neal Katz
We track the angular momentum transfer in n-body simulations of barred galaxies by measuring torques to understand the dynamical mechanisms responsible for the evolution of the bar…
Using Commensurabilities and Orbit Structure to Understand Barred Galaxy Evolution
Michael S. Petersen, Martin D. Weinberg, Neal Katz
We interpret simulations of secularly-evolving disc galaxies through orbit morphology. Using a new algorithm that measures the volume of orbits in real space using a tessellation,…
