The AGORA High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. II: Isolated Disk Test

Ji-hoon Kim, Oscar Agertz, Romain Teyssier +40

Using an isolated Milky Way-mass galaxy simulation, we compare results from 9 state-of-the-art gravito-hydrodynamics codes widely used in the numerical community. We utilize the in…

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…

Towards a complete accounting of energy and momentum from stellar feedback in galaxy formation simulations

Oscar Agertz, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Samuel N. Leitner +1

Stellar feedback plays a key role in galaxy formation by regulating star formation, driving interstellar turbulence and generating galactic scale outflows. Although modern simulati…

On the Last 10 Billion Years of Stellar Mass Growth in Star-Forming Galaxies

Samuel N. Leitner

The star formation rate - stellar mass relation (SFR-M*) and its evolution (i.e., the SFR main sequence) describes the growth rate of galaxies of a given stellar mass and at a give…

Fuel Efficient Galaxies: Sustaining Star Formation with Stellar Mass Loss

Samuel N. Leitner, Andrey V. Kravtsov

We examine the importance of secular stellar mass loss for fueling ongoing star formation in disk galaxies during the late stages of their evolution. For a galaxy of a given stella…

Tracing Galaxy Formation with Stellar Halos II: Relating Substructure in Phase- and Abundance-Space to Accretion Histories

Kathryn V. Johnston, James S. Bullock, Sanjib Sharma +3

This paper explores the mapping between the observable properties of a stellar halo in phase- and abundance-space and the parent galaxy's accretion history in terms of the characte…
