The impact of cosmic ray heating on the cooling of the low-metallicity interstellar medium
Vittoria Brugaletta, Stefanie Walch, Thorsten Naab +6
Low-metallicity environments are subject to inefficient cooling. They also have low dust-to-gas ratios and therefore less efficient photoelectric (PE) heating than in solar-neighbo…
Identifying supermassive black hole recoil in elliptical galaxies
Alexander Rawlings, Atte Keitaanranta, Max Mattero +8
We study stellar core growth in simulations of merging massive () elliptical galaxies by a supermassive black hole (SMBH) displaced by gravitatio…
Moving-mesh non-ideal magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the collapse of cloud cores to protostars
Alexander C. Mayer, Oliver Zier, Thorsten Naab +5
Magnetic fields have been shown both observationally and through theoretical work to be an important factor in the formation of protostars and their accretion disks. Accurate model…
The formation, evolution and disruption of star clusters with improved gravitational dynamics in simulated dwarf galaxies
Natalia Lahén, Antti Rantala, Thorsten Naab +3
So far, even the highest resolution galaxy formation simulations with gravitational softening have failed to reproduce realistic life cycles of star clusters. We present the first…
SILCC -- VIII: The impact of far-ultraviolet radiation on star formation and the interstellar medium
Tim-Eric Rathjen, Stefanie Walch, Thorsten Naab +4
We present magnetohydrodynamic simulations of star formation in the multiphase interstellar medium to quantify the impact of non-ionising far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation within the…
DIISC Survey: Deciphering the Interplay Between the Interstellar Medium, Stars, and the Circumgalactic Medium Survey
Sanchayeeta Borthakur, Mansi Padave, Timothy Heckman +13
We present the Deciphering the Interplay between the Interstellar medium, Stars, and the Circumgalactic medium (DIISC) Survey. This survey is designed to investigate the correlatio…
The masses, structure and lifetimes of cold clouds in a high-resolution simulation of a low metallicity starburst
Constantina M. Fotopoulou, Thorsten Naab, Natalia Lahén +6
We present an analysis of the cold gas phase in a low metallicity starburst generated in a high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation of a gas-rich dwarf galaxy merger as part of th…
The supermassive black hole merger driven evolution of high-redshift red nuggets into present-day cored early-type galaxies
Antti Rantala, Alexander Rawlings, Thorsten Naab +2
Very compact ( kpc) massive quiescent galaxies (red nuggets) are more abundant in the high-redshift Universe (-) than today. Their size evolution…
FROST-CLUSTERS -- I. Hierarchical star cluster assembly boosts intermediate-mass black hole formation
Antti Rantala, Thorsten Naab, Natalia Lahén
Observations and high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations indicate that massive star clusters assemble hierarchically from sub-clusters with a universal power-law cluster mass fu…
Star clusters forming in a low metallicity starburst -- rapid self-enrichment by (very) massive stars
Natalia Lahén, Thorsten Naab, Dorottya Szécsi
Stellar winds of massive () and very massive () stars may play an important role in the metal-enrichment during the format…
