Cosmological Simulations of Galaxy Formation I: Star Formation, Feedback, Resolution and Matching the Tully--Fisher Relation (among other things)

Fabio Governato, Greg Stinson, J. Wadsley +1

We used fully cosmological, high resolution N-body+SPH simulations to follow the formation of disk galaxies with a rotational velocity between 140 and 280 Km/sec in a Lambda CDM un…
