Star formation inefficiency and Kennicutt-Schmidt laws in early-type galaxies
Brian Jiang, Luca Ciotti, Zhaoming Gan +1
Star formation in disk galaxies is observed to follow the empirical Kennicutt-Schmidt law, a power-law relationship between the surface density of gas () [$\textrm{M}_{\od…
Nature and Scalings of Density Fluctuations of Compressible MHD Turbulence with Applications to the Solar Wind
Xiangrong Fu, Hui Li, Zhaoming Gan +2
The solar wind is a magnetized and turbulent plasma. Its turbulence is often dominated by Alfvénic fluctuations and often deemed as nearly incompressible far away from the Sun, as…
On the Existence of Fast Modes in Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Zhaoming Gan, Hui Li, Xiangrong Fu +1
We study the existence and property of Fast magnetosonic modes in 3D compressible MHD turbulence by carrying out a number of simulations with compressible and incompressible drivin…
A Parameter Space Exploration of High Resolution Numerically Evolved Early Type Galaxies Including AGN Feedback and Accurate Dynamical Treatment of Stellar Orbits
Luca Ciotti, Jeremiah P. Ostriker, Zhaoming Gan +4
An extensive exploration of the model parameter space of axisymmetric Early-Type Galaxies (ETGs) hosting a central supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) is conducted by means of high reso…
