Forming a Large Disc Galaxy from a z<1 Major Merger
F. Governato, C. B. Brook, A. M. Brooks +8
Using high resolution SPH simulations in a fully cosmological Lambda CDM context we study the formation of a bright disk dominated galaxy that originates from a "wet" major merger…
The Role of Cold Flows in the Assembly of Galaxy Disks
A. M. Brooks, F. Governato, T. Quinn +2
We use high resolution cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to demonstrate that cold flow gas accretion, particularly along filaments, modifies the standard picture of gas accre…
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…
The Formation of Polar Disk Galaxies
Chris B. Brook, Fabio Governato, Thomas Quinn +5
Polar Ring Galaxies, such as NGC4650A, are a class of galaxy which have two kinematically distinct components that are inclined by almost 90 degrees to each other. These striking g…
