Fast, Stable, and Physical: Hyperbolic, Magnetic Field-Aligned Diffusion in SPH
Nicholas Owens, James Wadsley, Robert Wissing +1
In this paper, we introduce the first implementation of magnetic field-aligned hyperbolic diffusion for standard smoothed particle (magneto-)hydrodynamics (SPH), and its linear-exa…
Dwarf diversity in CDM with baryons
Akaxia Cruz, Alyson Brooks, Mariangela Lisanti +7
Observed rotation curves of dwarf galaxies exhibit significant diversity at fixed halo mass, challenging galaxy formation within the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model. Previous cosmolog…
The Formation of Dwarf Galaxy Disks
Robel Geda, Akaxia Cruz, Anna C. Wright +5
Dwarf galaxies are dark matter-dominated systems that are sensitive to feedback and display a diversity of baryonic morphologies. This makes them excellent probes for understanding…
Hyperbolic Conduction: A Fast, Physical Conduction Model Implemented in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
N. A. Owens, J. Wadsley
We present the first implementation of hyperbolic thermal conduction in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Hyperbolic conduction is a physically-motivated alternative to tradit…
The anatomy of a star-forming galaxy: Pressure-driven regulation of star formation in simulated galaxies
S. M. Benincasa, J. Wadsley, H. M. P. Couchman +1
We explore the regulation of star formation in star-forming galaxies through a suite of high-resolution isolated galaxy simulations. We use the SPH code GASOLINE, including photoel…
Cosmological Galaxy Evolution with Superbubble Feedback II: The Limits of Supernovae
B. W. Keller, J. Wadsley, H. M. P Couchman
We explore when supernovae can (and cannot) regulate the star formation and bulge growth in galaxies based on a sample of 18 simulated galaxies. The simulations include key physics…
Thin disc, Thick Disc and Halo in a Simulated Galaxy
C. B. Brook, G. S. Stinson, B. K. Gibson +8
Within a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation, we form a disc galaxy with sub- components which can be assigned to a thin stellar disc, thick disk, and a low mass stellar halo vi…
The stellar metallicity distribution of disc galaxies and bulges in cosmological simulations
F. Calura, B. K. Gibson, L. Michel-Dansac +11
By means of high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-like disc galaxies, we conduct an analysis of the associated stellar metallicity distribution funct…
The Role of Cold Flows in the Assembly of Galaxy Disks
A. M. Brooks, F. Governato, T. Quinn +2
We use high resolution cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to demonstrate that cold flow gas accretion, particularly along filaments, modifies the standard picture of gas accre…
