AMReX-Astrophysics Microphysics: A set of microphysics routines for astrophysical simulation codes based on the AMReX library
Astro Microphysics Team, Khanak Bhargava, Abigail Bishop +15
The AMReX-Astrophysics Microphysics library provides a common set of microphysics routines (reaction networks and associated physics, equations of state, and various transport coef…
XMAGNET -- Stir before serving: a Lagrangian perspective on mixing-driven condensation in the intracluster medium
M. Fournier, P. Grete, M. Brüggen +4
We aim to characterize the thermodynamic and dynamical conditions leading to condensation in cluster cores, and to assess the role of magnetic fields. We implement a Monte-Carlo tr…
A novel algorithm for GPU-accelerated particle-mesh interactions implemented in the QUOKKA code
Chong-Chong He, Benjamin D. Wibking, Aditi Vijayan +2
We present a novel, GPU-optimized algorithm for particle-mesh interactions in grid-based hydrodynamics simulations, designed for massively parallel architectures. This approach ove…
Magnetohydrodynamic Precipitation
G. M. Voit, B. D. Wibking, D. Yaldiz
Circumgalactic gas around massive galaxies generally has a volume-filling component -- an atmosphere -- with a temperature determined by the potential-well depth of the galaxy's ha…
QED V: Variations in metal loading of galactic winds with element nucleosynthetic origin
Aditi Vijayan, Mark R. Krumholz, Benjamin D. Wibking
Type Ia supernovae, type II supernovae, and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are important sites of stellar nucleosynthesis, but they differ greatly in their rates, their locati…
XMAGNET : Kinetic, Thermal and Magnetic AGN Feedback in Massive Galaxies at Halo Masses M
Deovrat Prasad, Philipp Grete, Brian O'Shea +5
The interplay between radiative cooling of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and feedback heating governs the evolution of the universe's most massive galaxies. This paper presents s…
