The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. IX - Part 2: Effects of a Major Galaxy Merger on the Stellar Morphology of a Milky Way-mass Galaxy Progenitor

Thinh Huu Nguyen, Kirk S. S. Barrow, Minyong Jung +23

Galaxy mergers, with their high sensitivity to initial conditions, provide a valuable setting for comparative studies of galaxy simulation codes. Following our first paper focusing…

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. IX - Part 1: Effects of a Major Galaxy Merger on Star Formation of a Milky Way-mass Galaxy Progenitor

Thinh Huu Nguyen, Kirk S. S. Barrow, Minyong Jung +23

Given their highly nonlinear dynamics and sensitivity to initial conditions, galaxy mergers are a compelling area to conduct a simulation code comparison. We perform a comparative…

From Dense Gas Clouds to Supermassive Black Hole Seeds: Hybrid Hydro/Direct -body Simulations of Runaway Collision-driven Intermediate-mass Black Hole Formation

Eunwoo Chung, Yongseok Jo, Ji-hoon Kim +2

A population of dense stellar systems at high redshift has recently been uncovered by the JWST. To investigate the formation of supermassive black hole (SMBH) seeds in these dense…
