Learning the Universe with PRFM-vol: Introducing a new subgrid model for star formation in cosmological simulations

Jan D. Burger, Volker Springel, Eve C. Ostriker +7

We introduce PRFM-vol, a new subgrid model for star formation in cosmological simulations that aims to increase the physical realism of cosmological simulations by leveraging resul…

ArkenstoneBH. A model for high-specific energy black hole feedback in cosmological simulations

James M. Sullivan, Greg L. Bryan, Matthew C. Smith +6

AGN feedback is a key piece of galaxy evolution but is difficult to model due to its high specific energies, multiphase nature, and limited simulation resolutions. Arkenstone is a…

Imladris: a detailed and flexible model for galaxy simulations with individual stars

Matthew C. Smith

Coupling stellar feedback to the evolution of individual stars, as opposed to averaging over the initial mass function (IMF), substantially improves the fidelity of galaxy formatio…

The MandelZoom project II: the impact of stellar feedback on black hole accretion through an -disc in dwarf galaxies with a resolved interstellar medium

Eun-jin Shin, Matthew C. Smith, Debora Sijacki +2

We present a suite of high-resolution simulations to study how different stellar feedback channels regulate the growth of central intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) in dwarf gal…

The Synthetic Absorption Line Spectral Almanac (SALSA)

Dylan Nelson, Celine Peroux, Philipp Richter +10

We create the first large-scale mock spectroscopic survey of gas absorption sightlines traversing the interstellar medium (ISM), circumgalactic medium (CGM), and intergalactic medi…

The MandelZoom project I: modelling black hole accretion through an -disc in dwarf galaxies with a resolved interstellar medium

Eun-jin Shin, Debora Sijacki, Matthew C. Smith +2

While mounting observational evidence suggests that intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) may be important in shaping the properties of dwarf galaxies both at high redshifts and in…

Applying a star formation model calibrated on high-resolution interstellar medium simulations to cosmological simulations of galaxy formation

Jan D. Burger, Volker Springel, Eve C. Ostriker +11

Modern high-resolution simulations of the interstellar medium (ISM) have shown that key factors in governing star formation are the competing influences of radiative dissipation, p…

Prevention is better than cure? Feedback from high specific energy winds in cosmological simulations with Arkenstone

Jake S. Bennett, Matthew C. Smith, Drummond B. Fielding +6

We deploy the new Arkenstone galactic wind model in cosmological simulations for the first time, allowing us to robustly resolve the evolution and impact of high specific energy wi…

Towards Implementation of the Pressure-Regulated, Feedback-Modulated Model of Star Formation in Cosmological Simulations: Methods and Application to TNG

Sultan Hassan, Eve C. Ostriker, Chang-Goo Kim +12

Traditional star formation subgrid models implemented in cosmological galaxy formation simulations, such as that of Springel & Hernquist (2003, hereafter SH03), employ adjustable p…

Arkenstone -- II. A model for unresolved cool clouds entrained in galactic winds in cosmological simulations

Matthew C. Smith, Drummond B. Fielding, Greg L. Bryan +4

Arkenstone is a new scheme that allows multiphase, stellar feedback-driven winds to be included in coarse resolution cosmological simulations. The evolution of galactic winds and t…
