The inefficiency of satellite accretion in forming extended star clusters
Paolo Bianchini, Florent Renaud, Mark Gieles +1
The distinction between globular clusters and dwarf galaxies has been progressively blurred by the recent discoveries of several extended star clusters, with size (20-30 pc) and lu…
The interplay between a galactic bar and a supermassive black hole: nuclear fueling in a sub-parsec resolution galaxy simulation
Eric Emsellem, Florent Renaud, Frédéric Bournaud +3
We study the connection between the large-scale dynamics and the gas fueling toward a central black hole via the analysis of a Milky Way-like simulation at sub-parsec resolution. T…
A parsec-resolution simulation of the Antennae galaxies: Formation of star clusters during the merger
Florent Renaud, Frédéric Bournaud, Pierre-Alain Duc
We present a hydrodynamical simulation of an Antennae-like galaxy merger at parsec resolution, including a multi-component model for stellar feedback and reaching numerical converg…
Modelling CO emission from hydrodynamic simulations of nearby spirals, starbursting mergers, and high-redshift galaxies
F. Bournaud, E. Daddi, A. Weiss +3
We model the intensity of emission lines from the CO molecule, based on hydrodynamic simulations of spirals, mergers, and high-redshift galaxies with very high resolutions (3pc and…
Starbursts triggered by inter-galactic tides and interstellar compressive turbulence
Florent Renaud, Frédéric Bournaud, Katarina Kraljic +1
Using parsec-resolution simulations of a typical galaxy merger, we study the triggering of starbursts by connecting the (inter-)galactic dynamics to the structure of the interstell…
The role of turbulence in star formation laws and thresholds
Katarina Kraljic, Florent Renaud, Frederic Bournaud +4
The Schmidt-Kennicutt relation links the surface densities of gas to the star formation rate in galaxies. The physical origin of this relation, and in particular its break, i.e. th…
