The Smith Cloud and its dark matter halo: Survival of a Galactic disc passage
Matthew Nichols, Nestor Mirabal, Oscar Agertz +2
The current velocity of the Smith Cloud indicates that it has undergone at least one passage of the Galactic disc. Using hydrodynamic simulations we examine the present day structu…

On the interplay between star formation and feedback in galaxy formation simulations
Oscar Agertz, Andrey V. Kravtsov
We investigate the star formation-feedback cycle in cosmological galaxy formation simulations, focusing on progenitors of Milky Way (MW)-sized galaxies. We find that in order to re…

Larson's scaling laws, and the gravitational instability of clumpy discs at high redshift
Alessandro B. Romeo, Oscar Agertz
Gravitational instabilities play a primary role in shaping the clumpy structure and powering the star formation activity of gas-rich high-redshift galaxies. Here we analyse the sta…
