The Anatomy of a Star-Forming Galaxy II: the role of FUV heating via dust

Samantha M. Benincasa, James W. Wadsley, Hugh M. P. Couchman +4

Far-Ultraviolet (FUV) radiation greatly exceeds ultraviolet, supernovae and winds in the energy budget of young star clusters but is poorly modeled in galaxy simulations. We presen…

TREVR: A general radiative transfer algorithm

J. J. Grond, R. M. Woods, J. W. Wadsley +1

We present TREVR (Tree-based REVerse Ray Tracing), a general algorithm for computing the radiation field, including absorption, in astrophysical simulations. TREVR is designed to h…

Quantum signatures in quadratic optomechanics

J. D. P. Machado, R. J. Slooter, Ya. M. Blanter

We analyze quantum effects occurring in optomechanical systems where the coupling between an optical mode and a mechanical mode is quadratic in displacement (membrane-in-the-middle…

Haloes at the ragged edge: The importance of the splashback radius

O. N. Snaith, J. Bailin, A. Knebe +3

We have explored the outskirts of dark matter haloes out to 2.5 times the virial radius using a large sample of halos drawn from Illustris, along with a set of zoom simulations (MU…

The anatomy of a star-forming galaxy: Pressure-driven regulation of star formation in simulated galaxies

S. M. Benincasa, J. Wadsley, H. M. P. Couchman +1

We explore the regulation of star formation in star-forming galaxies through a suite of high-resolution isolated galaxy simulations. We use the SPH code GASOLINE, including photoel…

Cosmological Galaxy Evolution with Superbubble Feedback II: The Limits of Supernovae

B. W. Keller, J. Wadsley, H. M. P Couchman

We explore when supernovae can (and cannot) regulate the star formation and bulge growth in galaxies based on a sample of 18 simulated galaxies. The simulations include key physics…
