Positive feedback at the disc-halo interface

Alexander Hobbs, Robert Feldmann

The flat star formation (SF) history of the Milky Way (MW) requires gas in the Galactic disc to be replenished, most likely from a reservoir outside the Galaxy. Such a replenishmen…

nIFTy Galaxy Cluster simulations IV: Quantifying the Influence of Baryons on Halo Properties

Weiguang Cui, Chris Power, Alexander Knebe +21

Building on the initial results of the nIFTy simulated galaxy cluster comparison, we compare and contrast the impact of baryonic physics with a single massive galaxy cluster, run w…

Growing galaxies via superbubble-driven accretion flows

Alexander Hobbs, Justin Read, Andrina Nicola

We use a suite a cooling halo simulations to study a new mechanism for rapid accretion of hot halo gas onto star-forming galaxies. Correlated supernovae events create converging 's…

AGN Feedback models: Correlations with star formation and observational implications of time evolution

Robert J. Thacker, C. MacMackin, James Wurster +1

We examine the correlation between the star formation rate (SFR) and black hole accretion rate (BHAR) across a suite of different AGN feedback models, using the time evolution of a…

Black hole feedback in a multiphase interstellar medium

Martin A. Bourne, Sergei Nayakshin, Alexander Hobbs

Ultrafast outflows (UFOs) from supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are thought to regulate the growth of SMBHs and host galaxies, resulting in a number of observational correlations.…

The AGORA High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project

Ji-hoon Kim, Tom Abel, Oscar Agertz +43

We introduce the AGORA project, a comprehensive numerical study of well-resolved galaxies within the LCDM cosmology. Cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with force resolutions of…
