Evaluating Galactic Habitability Using High Resolution Cosmological Simulations of Galaxy Formation
Duncan Forgan, Pratika Dayal, Charles Cockell +1
We present the first model that couples high-resolution simulations of the formation of Local Group galaxies with calculations of the galactic habitable zone (GHZ), a region of spa…
