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…
The Role of Cold Flows and Reservoirs in Galaxy Formation With Strong Feedback
Rory Woods, James Wadsley, Hugh M. P. Couchman +2
We examine gas accretion and subsequent star formation in representative galaxies from the McMaster Unbiased Galaxy Simulations (Stinson et al. 2010). Accreted gas is bimodal with…
Galaxy Formation with local photoionisation feedback I. Methods
R. Kannan, G. S. Stinson, A. V. Macciò +8
We present a first study of the effect of local photoionising radiation on gas cooling in smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of galaxy formation. We explore the combined e…
The Aquila comparison Project: The Effects of Feedback and Numerical Methods on Simulations of Galaxy Formation
C. Scannapieco, M. Wadepuhl, O. H. Parry +20
We compare the results of thirteen cosmological gasdynamical codes used to simulate the formation of a galaxy in the LCDM structure formation paradigm. The various runs differ in t…
