Galactic Angular Momentum in the Illustris Simulation: Feedback and the Hubble Sequence
Shy Genel, S. Michael Fall, Lars Hernquist +5
We study the stellar angular momentum of thousands of galaxies in the Illustris cosmological simulation, which captures gravitational and gas dynamics within galaxies, as well as f…
Reducing noise in moving-grid codes with strongly-centroidal Lloyd mesh regularization
Philip Mocz, Mark Vogelsberger, Rudiger Pakmor +3
A method for improving the accuracy of hydrodynamical codes that use a moving Voronoi mesh is described. Our scheme is based on a new regularization scheme that constrains the mesh…
Hot Gaseous Coronae around Spiral Galaxies: Probing the Illustris Simulation
Akos Bogdan, Mark Vogelsberger, Ralph P. Kraft +10
The presence of hot gaseous coronae around present-day massive spiral galaxies is a fundamental prediction of galaxy formation models. However, our observational knowledge remains…
Shocked Superwinds from the z~2 Clumpy Star-forming Galaxy, ZC406690
Sarah F. Newman, Kristen Shapiro Griffin, Reinhard Genzel +20
We have obtained high-resolution data of the z 2 ring-like, clumpy star-forming galaxy (SFG) ZC406690 using the VLT/SINFONI with AO (in K-band) and in seeing-limited mode (in H- an…
The growth of dark matter halos: evidence for significant smooth accretion
Shy Genel, Nicolas Bouché, Thorsten Naab +2
We study the growth of dark matter halos in the concordance LCDM cosmology using several N-body simulations of large cosmological volumes. We build merger trees from the Millennium…
