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…
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…
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 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…
